What is the Silvan Foundation?

Silvan is an environmental nonprofit which permanently preserves land: there is no commercial use of the land we preserve.  Our mission is to permanenelty preserve land, and to help reduce carbon emissions.

​​

What does Silvan do?

Silvan buys land, and we accept land donations. Then we permanently preserve that land: no new roads,

buildings, logging, mining, agriculture, dams, extraction or resale.  To support our mission we help people learn how to reduce their carbon emissions, and sell energy reduction products.

​​

How is Silvan different?

Silvan is a preservation organization. Unlike many conservation organizations, we preserve land entirely and permanently, rather than partially and temporarily.​  Also, Silvan doesn't rely solely on donations to further it's mission - we sell energy reduction products and invest the net revenue in land.

​​

Why land preservation?

We believe that some part of the planet needs to be preserved from human impact if all its species are to have a long term future.​
