Since its founding, West Creek has been a model of citizen action and land conservation, maximizing benefits and leveraging projects to the fullest extent possible. Initially embracing the much-needed role of an urban land trust serving Greater Cleveland, West Creek ultimately evolved into a diverse non-profit conservation organization serving the region. Recognized for its successful conservation and restoration initiatives, West Creek is led by a Board of Directors overseeing a professional Staff and many volunteers.
