Does CLS provide funding for land protection?
The CLS does not provide funding for land protection. One of the best sources for funding information is the publication Saving Special Places: Community Funding for Land Conservation . On occasion the CLS does assist State agencies with the acquisition of properties. The Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP), a successor program to the LCIP, is actively involved in funding protection of exceptional lands on a statewide basis. A comprehensive list of projects they have supported can be found on their Web site.
