TThe California Council of Land Trusts (CCLT) has awarded nearly $2M in funding to 23 organizations as part of the Project Advancement Grants for projects that advance the goals of the State of California described in Pathways to 30x30 (30x30) and the Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy (NWLCSS).
Additionally, CCLT aims to increase the capacity of land trusts and build the diversity of partners engaged by land trusts through specific support for partnerships with Tribes, Native-led organizations, and through projects benefiting underserved communities.
“Land Trusts are key to achieving the state’s biodiversity goals and WCB is proud to provide funding for CCLT and their partners,” said Jennifer Norris, executive director for WCB. “These small grants will provide much needed resources to help accelerate projects that advance biodiversity protection, climate resiliency, and equitable access to nature.”
Bridget Fithian, CCLT Board Chair adds, “CCLT’s Project Advancement program is providing direct solutions to remove barriers to the advancement and acceleration of conservation, restoration and equity in California. Congratulations to all of the recipients.”
