Merging can be a game-changer for land trusts looking to expand capacity, enhance sustainability, and streamline operations. This webinar, originally recorded in May 2020, explores the why, when, and how of land trust mergers, featuring insights from organizations that have successfully navigated the process. Through two case studies, learn about the key benefits, challenges, and practical steps involved, as well as alternative forms of collaboration that can strengthen your land trust without a full merger. Whether you’re in the early stages of discussion or just exploring options, this webinar provides valuable guidance to help you make strategic decisions.
CLCC wishes to thank Catherine Rawson, Executive Director of Weantinoge Heritage Land Trust (now Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy), for co-leading this webinar.
