In 2017, CLCC requested assistance from graduate students in the Yale Forestry and Environmental Studies (FES) Strategies for Land Conservation course to better understand whether CT municipal assessors are routinely taking into account the impact of a conservation easement (CE) when determining a property’s valuation.
Handy when meeting with elected officials and other decision makers, CLCC’s CT Conservation Primer is a one-page handout, packed with Connecticut-specific land conservation information including: up-to-date stats on the state’s progress in meeting its conservation goals, a glossary of commonly used words and phrases, descriptions of priority land conservation funding programs, and citations to relevant sections of the Connecticut General Statutes.
The primer is available in:
CLCC annually contributes testimony and comments related to land conservation laws, policies, programs, and funding, as well as other priorities central to the health and wellbeing of Connecticut’s communities, environment, economy, and quality of life.
