Overview
This grant to the Nature Conservancy would support its effort to increase public funding for private land conservation in the West. Increased 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. This is a complimentary grant to a separate grant to Trust for Public Land.

for an analysis of funding mechanisms for wildfire resilience
The Nature Conservancy works to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. This grant supports a project to better understand federal-level funding mechanisms that can lead to increased action to reduce the risk of extreme wildfire events in the Western United States and beyond, while increasing ecosystem and community resilience to wildfire. This research will help inform the Hewlett Foundation’s goal of leveraging additional resources for wildfire resilience across the American West. (Western Conservation Substrategy: Wildfire)
