Compatible Lands Foundation

Military readiness begins with the right place to train.

Operation Sentinel Justice—the largest U.S. Army Reserve training exercise in history—brought together more than 12,000 Soldiers for realistic, large-scale training across the Southeast. Exercises like these depend on protected, compatible landscapes that provide the space needed to prepare for tomorrow's challenges.

At Compatible Lands Foundation, we're proud to help conserve the working lands and open spaces that support military readiness while benefiting wildlife, water resources, and local communities.

What is military readiness?

Military readiness is the ability of our armed forces to train today so they're prepared to respond tomorrow.

At Compatible Lands Foundation, we help protect the open spaces around military installations that make realistic training possible—while also conserving working lands, wildlife habitat, and natural resources.

What is incompatible development?

It's development in the wrong place—where new homes, businesses, or other construction can interfere with military training, working lands, wildlife habitat, or water resources.

At Compatible Lands Foundation, we partner with willing landowners to protect these important landscapes so they continue to benefit our communities, our environment, and our nation's readiness for generations to come.

At CLF, we help protect the open lands that support military training while also conserving wildlife habitat, working farms and ranches, and vital natural resources. When we protect these landscapes, everyone benefits, including moose!
