Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for land conservation?
Funding supports purchasing land or conservation easements, protecting forests and farmland, and stewarding protected properties. The Forest Legacy Program protects privately owned forest land, and USDA's ACEP helps fund agricultural and grassland easements. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and many private and community foundations also support land protection.
Who funds land conservation and land trusts?
Key federal sources include the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Legacy Program) and USDA/NRCS (ACEP), often drawing on the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Land trusts frequently partner on these projects, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation plus private foundations provide additional support. The Land Trust Alliance maintains resources tracking federal funding opportunities.
Can a land trust apply for federal conservation funding?
Land trusts play a major role in many federal land conservation projects, helping identify properties, work with landowners, and negotiate easement and acquisition transactions. Some federal programs flow through state agencies, with land trusts as partners, while others fund nonprofits more directly. Reviewing each program's eligibility rules and partnering early with the relevant agency is important.
