Check out a new report that identifies a handful of high-impact strategies to expand & advance land conservation in the Lowcountry & Chicago Region. The team of Delta Institute, Open Space Institute, & The Lyme Timber Company selected these from a list of 60+ emerging approaches (all of which are in the appendix). This report is the second of two to help the foundation identify emerging and/or underutilized funding and financing strategies to accelerate the pace of conservation. This report builds on the work completed during Phase I, which included a broad scan of conservation strategies and highlighted eleven top tier strategies for further examination.
