Resource Library
Thinking about allowing research on your conserved land? This resource bundle includes practical templates and examples to guide you through the process — from initial inquiry to final publication. You’ll find a checklist of sequential steps, sample insurance language, a model letter of agreement, and more to help your land trust evaluate and manage research proposals with confidence.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Climate-Smart Mitigation Activities webpage provides an overview of conservation practices that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. This resource is valuable for land trusts looking to integrate climate resilience into their conservation efforts through practices like forest management, wetland restoration, and soil health improvements. Land trusts can use this guide to inform landowners about climate-smart strategies and explore funding opportunities through NRCS programs like EQIP and CSP.
