Land Conservation
A healthy natural environment is crucial to healthy human communities, but natural land is scarce, threatened and, once lost, may be gone forever. We support long-term partnerships that bring together people from diverse backgrounds who value, nurture and protect the natural environment.
The foundation’s work is designed to advance the following strategies:
- Preserve, restore and protect strategic lands that contribute to the health of the regional ecosystem.
- Build and support constituencies that value and engage in land stewardship.
Because we encounter the efforts of many groups, we are able to recognize opportunities to connect people working towards a common goal. When these situations arise we can do more than make grants, so we organize our work into initiatives.
Descriptions of initiatives (below) are designed to inform you about how we work. You do not need to consider how a proposal fits into an initiative, but you should consider how your work advances one of the land conservation strategies above.
