The Landscape Partnership Grant, which aims to conserve large unfragmented landscapes and bolster climate resilience, is now accepting applications. The deadline to apply is Thursday, April 3, at 3 p.m. This program provides up to $1.25 million in funding to partnerships committed to protecting biodiversity, supporting local farm and forest economies, and expanding outdoor recreation opportunities.
Partnerships must include at least two entities like municipalities, land-focused nonprofits, state or federal environmental agencies, or public water suppliers. Funding can support projects like property acquisitions, conservation restrictions, agricultural preservation restrictions, or watershed preservation restrictions. There are certain requirements for public recreation access and county specific acreage criteria.
Applications are submitted electronically, and should include a project narrative, appraisals, maps, and letters of support. A minimum 50% cost match is required, with funding applicable to acquisitions, appraisals, surveys, and title searches.
