Overview
These grants to the Nature Conservancy and Trust for Public Land would support their combined work throughout the West in support of federal, state, and local efforts to increase public funding for private land conservation. As the West becomes more urbanized, development pressures put ecologically sensitive ranches and other private land at risk. The Nature Conservancy would use the grant funds to educate the public on the benefits of increased funding from all levels of government, with the goal of prompting new funding in five Western states and preventing the weakening of state and local funding programs. The Trust for Public Land would use grant support to continue its technical assistance to state and local governments in support of new conservation bonds and public reporting of how conservation funds are used to address public priorities.
