Preserving and restoring historical and natural resources is what we do at Legacy Preservation Enterprise.
We do this by acquiring historical properties, researching and documenting their history, and restoring them so they can be enjoyed by future generations. We also collect and preserve historical artifacts.
We do this by planting native plants and removing unwanted exotic invasive plant species on properties we own for the benefit of pollinators and wildlife, as well as to allow the public to enjoy the beauty of nature.
