Overview
These grants to the Trust for Public Land and the Nature Conservancy would fund their complementary 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 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 existing state and local funding programs. The Trust for Public Land would 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.
