Connecticut Land Conservation Conference

Join members of the Connecticut Land Conservation Council team for a comprehensive workshop that brings together CLCC’s core funding and financial assistance programs into one practical, information-rich session. Designed for land trust staff and volunteers at all stages, this workshop will provide a clear overview of CLCC’s funding tools available to support land acquisition, due diligence, stewardship, and climate-smart land management across Connecticut. Participants will learn about the Land & Easement Acquisition Grant Program, Transaction Assistance Grant Program, Climate Smart Forestry Grant Program, Connecticut Conservation Partnership Program, and CLCC’s new pilot Forever CT Bridge Loan Program. The workshop will walk through each program’s purpose, eligibility requirements, and application process, and help participants understand how these CLCC programs can be used individually or together to advance conservation goals.
