In Session 2 of the Anatomy of a Land Transaction series, we'll dive into project selection. Project selection is more than evaluating opportunities as they arise—it’s about being proactive in pursuing the right projects that advance your mission. This session will explore how traditional project selection criteria provide a useful foundation, but are most effective when embedded within a strategic conservation plan. We’ll discuss how these plans can guide decision-making and help land trusts shift from passively responding to landowner interest to actively initiating outreach that aligns with conservation goals. The session will also cover methods for evaluating public benefit, anticipating long-term stewardship responsibilities, and determining key points in a project timeline where staff, committee, or board approval is essential to proceed.

Presenters include land protection staff/volunteers from:

• East Haddam Land Trust
• Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy
• Wyndham Land Trust
