Connecticut Land Conservation Conference

There is growing consensus in the forestry and land management field about stewardship practices that can promote healthy and resilient landscapes while responding to climate impacts – and increasingly there is funding becoming available to do this work. Join foresters from New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the land trust community’s own Connecticut Land Conservation Council (CLCC) to learn about climate-smart practices appropriate for your private woodland site or conserved parcel, and if you may be eligible for grants to cover the cost. A range of management goals will be discussed from addressing invasive plants to promoting diverse tree species, to storing carbon in the forest while also producing long-lived wood products. CLCC, NRCS, and NEFF will share details about their new programs to support land trusts and family forest owners in preparing for, and acting on, climate change across the landscape.
