Conservation Finance

Creating Public Funding for Parks and Conservation

In order to protect water quality, preserve family farms and ranches, manage growth, and set aside parks for growing populations, many state and local governments want to expand their park and open space systems. TPL's Conservation Finance team advises governments on conservation funding and helps to design, pass, and implement measures that dedicate new public funds for parks and land conservation.
