Description

CEAP Guidelines

The Conservation Easement Assistance Program provides small grants to conservation organizations to help cover the costs of:

• Completing conservation as well as trail and fishing access easements
• Amending and restating older easement documents
• Establishing or updating baseline documentation
• Installing signs on eased properties.

The program seeks to:

• Increase the quantity of easements completed and special places protected; and
• Increase the quality and long-term viability of easements.

To accomplish this, the program requires that organizations do the job right and provides the financial means to do so.
