Improving Organizational and Conservation Capacity: Options for Maryland's Lower Shore Land Trust

As a part of the technical assistance that the Defenders of Wildlife and the National Park Service are providing to the Lower Shore Land Trust (LSLT), the Environmental Finance Center at the University of Maryland (EFC) worked with program partners and LSLT staff and board members to develop a set of suggested financing opportunities for growing the organization and expanding its impact in the three‐county service area.  Suggested financing options include: (1) Make the most of the programs that have proven effective to date; (2) Investigate the feasibility of new revenue generating opportunities; and (3) Enhance and expand partnerships.
