Who We Are

The Conservation Fund’s Green Infrastructure Leadership Program was created in 1999 to build the capacity of land conservation professionals and their partners to undertake strategic conservation activities that are proactive, systematic, well integrated and applied at multiple scales. The program is a cooperative effort of the Fund and multiple public and private partners.

GreenInfrastructure.Net was developed by The Conservation Fund with funding provided by USDA Cooperative Forestry and the Surdna Foundation. Support also was provided by the Green Infrastructure Work Group, a collection of local, state and federal government agencies and non-governmental organizations that originally came together in August 1999 to begin developing a training program that would help communities and their partners make green infrastructure an integral part of local and regional plans and community decisions.
