Acres for America

Created in 2005 with founding partner Walmart, "Acres for America" is a groundbreaking program to conserve the nation's critical wildlife habitat for future generations. As one of the largest ever public-private partnerships, it sets a bold new model for conservation in the United States.

Walmart Stores, Inc. has committed $35 million over 10 years to permanently conserve at least one acre of priority wildlife habitat for every developed acre of Walmart Stores' current footprint, as well as the company’s future development throughout the 10-year commitment - an expected total of 138,000 acres. By the end of 2006, the Acres for America program will permanently conserve more than 360,000 acres, helping connect conservation landscapes totaling nearly 4 million acres.
