Connecticut Land Conservation Conference

In an era where the need for conservation outpaces available resources, and when land trusts are facing the specter of perpetuity, this workshop presents a timely exploration of land trust mergers, offering a roadmap to stronger, more sustainable organizations. Discover the driving forces behind successful mergers and uncover the strategic steps to amplify your land trust’s conservation impact. Participants will learn how merging not only consolidates resources but also opens doors to new growth opportunities, smoother succession, broader support, and increased capacity for meaningful conservation work. Led by an experienced panel that includes representatives from volunteer-run and staffed land trusts who have navigated the merger journey, funders dedicated to fostering enduring land trusts, and CLCC staff facilitating these transformative collaborations, this session promises invaluable insights into the merger process. Join us to explore how mergers can be a powerful strategy for your land trust, ensuring a lasting legacy of conservation.
