Expanding the Toolbox of Land Conservation Strategies

Funded by the Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, Delta Institute and our partners evaluated traditional conservation funding sources in the Chicago Wilderness Region and the Lowcountry of South Carolina in acquiring and stewarding land to meet growing natural resource needs. This report is the culumnation of two studies to help the Foundation and their grantees identify emerging and/or underutilized funding and financing strategies to accelerate the pace of conservation.
