Pass-Through Projects: A Land Conservation Roundtable

Pass-through projects, where a land trust acquires land with the intention of another entity being the permanent owner, are a productive method of conserving land. Land trusts have “flipped” hundreds of thousands of acres of land for conservation purposes to local governments and state agencies in Pennsylvania. What does it take to successfully accomplish these projects? Laura Bower and Kyle Shenk of The Conservation Fund will set the stage for discussion with an introduction to the topic. Andy Loza will then moderate the discussion as attendees share with colleagues their experiences and practices and explore common challenges, risks, and barriers.
