Blog Post (10)

As we wrap up another month at CLCC, I find myself reflecting on a recurring theme from our recent board meeting—how do we measure the impact of our conservation work? For some of our programs, the answers are clear: the number of acres protected with support from our grant programs, the successful passage of conservation-focused legislation, and the enhancements we’ve helped secure for state grant programs. However, the metrics are sometimes not as easy to quantify when it comes to community-centered conservation, capacity building, and other key programs.

But what I’ve learned is that while our impacts may sometimes be hard to quantify, they are there—often revealed through the stories we share, the connections we foster, and the relationships we build across communities.

Sometimes, a picture speaks volumes where words fall short. Throughout this month, I’ve been reminded of the many faces of conservation—the people, landscapes, and moments that reflect the essence of our mission. I invite you to explore these snapshots with me as we continue to chart a course for meaningful, long-lasting impact.
