The Conservation Fund

The Conservation Fund’s Strategic Conservation Program uses a green infrastructure approach — simultaneously focusing on the best lands to conserve and the best lands to accommodate development — to help communities balance environmental and economic goals through strategies that lead to smarter, sustainable land uses. Every community is unique, with varying natural resources and needs. The Conservation Fund draws from its strategic conservation toolkit to help city and county planners, regional and watershed organizations, natural resource agencies and nonprofits design comprehensive and customized strategies that balance land protection and development.

From its hallmark book Green Infrastructure and its Better Models publications to professional training courses offered through the Conservation Leadership Network, The Conservation Fund brings the nation’s foremost strategic conservation specialists to America’s towns, counties and states.
