Resources
Whether you’re a volunteer, staff member, or board leader, the Connecticut Land Conservation Council’s Resource Library is here to support your work in conserving and stewarding land across the state.
Organized by topic, this collection offers practical tools, templates, case studies, and expert guidance tailored to the needs of Connecticut’s land trusts. From legal and financial management to community engagement, stewardship, and climate resilience, our goal is to help you navigate challenges, build capacity, and strengthen your organization.
Explore the topics that matter most to your work—and check back often, as we regularly update the library with new and relevant resources.
Quick Links
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.
