Transaction assistance Grants (TAG) Program
CLCC Awards Transaction Grants to Accelerate Conservation Projects Statewide
Five grants help land trusts advance land acquisitions and permanently conserve 437 acres IN NORTH STONINGTON, WOODBURY, NORTH CANAAN, EAST HAMPTON, AND NORFOLK
Congratulations to the most recent recipients of our Transaction Assistance Grant (TAG) Program: the Avalonia Land Conservancy, Flanders Nature Center and Land Trust, Housatonic Valley Association, Middlesex Land Trust, and Norfolk Land Trust!
TAG grants provide essential financial assistance to land trusts to cover transaction-related project costs, such as surveys and environmental assessments, so that they can advance projects that will protect forests, water resources, and wildlife habitats, while expanding recreational and educational opportunities.
