    Guess it’s lost in translation.

    Conservation land is a protected wild area. Sometimes it’s what we refer to as “the woods,” and not properly marked from a local standpoint.

    In my region, there are many county and state (vs federal in US) parks, with recreational areas and rules about how to interact with the wildlife. Greatparks.org.

    There are also private nature preserves, and those appear to us as hiking trails. https://www.cardinallandconservancy.org/ is an example.

    There are also smaller conversation areas. I know of a little bog about the size of a football field with a little sign saying it is maintained by the local college.

      Thanks for the detailed description how it is handled in your area, it’s actually interesting.
      Land protection in the US seems to be a bit more convoluted than here in Germany.
      And regulations surprisingly seem to be a bit more relaxed for the public (except for special protection zones, which are typically of limited size).
