What is Sharing the Land?
Sixty percent of all land in the United States is privately owned, and in certain regions, up to 95% of wildlife habitat, hunting grounds, and foraging areas are privately held. Recognizing a need to reconnect people with the land and with each other, Sharing the Land has designed a model to do just that. By connecting Landowners and Access Seekers through an exchange of services for access, STL is building long-term connections that will share and protect our natural resources.
We Believe in COOPERATIVE ACCESS
Sharing the Land acknowledges the inherent value of access to private land. The rising costs of owning rural land, shifts in land ownership, a growing population, leasing of hunting rights, and increased interest in outdoor activities have made it increasingly challenging for non-landowners to secure permission for hunting, foraging, or recreation on private lands. While some landowners may be hesitant to open their properties to just anyone, many are open to sharing their land with individuals who demonstrate respect for the environment and a willingness to contribute to conservation efforts.
Sharing the Land has successfully opened over 20,000 acres of private land.
