Documenting and Protecting Biodiversity on Land Trust Projects Org Member Price: $19.95 | Download Free! Regular Price: $24.95 | Download $10.00 This user-friendly guide bridges the gap between conservation biology and its application to typical land trust projects. Intended for land trusts, landowners, biologists, planers, and students, the handbook explains biodiversity and how it's conserved, what types of biological information are most useful, and how to gather such information through reviews of freely-available data sources and on-the-ground biological inventories. The book also explains how to apply biological information to standard land protection tasks, such as project selection, fundraising, drafting conservation easement language, compiling baseline documentation, writing management plans, and how the information helps land trust projects conform to IRS Treasury regulations and Land Trust Standards and Practices.

Strategic Conservation Planning Author: Ole Amundsen, IIIOrg Member Price: Price $19.95 | Download Free! Regular Price: $24.95 | Download $10.00 According to the 2010 National Land Trust Census, land trusts that had strategic conservation plans protected twice as much land as land trusts without plans. Strategic Conservation Planning will help you visualize a future for your community and chart a course to realize that vision. Because your actions today will determine the parks, working farms, forests and scenic landscapes your children and grandchildren will enjoy, it pays to be careful in how you use your resources to ensure you save the right land. This publication provides you with the process and tools to identify, prioritize, pursue and protect the land that will most effectively and efficiently achieve your conservation mission. What land conservationists are saying: “The Strategic Conservation Planning guide is a thorough how to manual that explains the big-picture reasons for engaging in strategic planning, as well as giving step-by-step instructions with plenty of sample documents and case studies. This book is an invaluable resource, as our now dog-eared copy can attest.” |
