Trust for Virgin Islands Lands
Overview
Our Mission
The mission of the Trust for Virgin Islands Land (TVIL) is to protect tracts of agricultural and natural landscapes that provide significant benefits to the citizens of the Virgin Islands. Efforts to achieve this goal include: 1. purchasing and holding threatened lands for transfer to conservation-minded ownership, 2. providing assistance to landowners wanting to limit future development through conservation easements, 3. advocating sound land use policy, and 4. fostering increased appreciation and understanding of our territory
