- Land Acquisition and Stewardship Fund (LASF)
The Trail Conference's Land Acquisition and Stewardship Fund (LASF) is designed to provide the financial resources needed to
develop and maintain fully protected trail corridors linking public parks and
open spaces throughout the region.
To fulfill this vision, the Land Acquisition and Stewardship Fund will be
capitalized with at least $2,000,000. The Fund will operate as a revolving
fund, providing the money needed to identify and secure key parcels of land,
and facilitate their transfer to public or private conservation agencies that will
preserve them as trail corridors in perpetuity.
In addition to this fund, you can assist in our efforts to protect land using the following vehicles:
- Conservation Easements
- Donation of Land
- Providing short-term bridge loans
- Acting as a loan guarantors for the Trail Conference
