Overview
The Land Trust Grants Program awards state assistance to land trusts for activities that will assist counties and municipalities with their agricultural and farmland protection efforts, including providing technical assistance to county and municipal governments, owners of agricultural lands and other agricultural interests. Round 5 of the program aims to help owners of viable agricultural land protect their lands from conversion to non-farm uses, connect willing landowners to farmers interested in leasing or buying viable agricultural land, and highlight on-farm marketing, production, and agritourism opportunities for preserved farms. To be eligible, your not-for-profit conservation organization must have an active farmer on their Board.
