| Solicitation Profile |
This grant opportunity is being offered to enable eligible applicants to cover eligible transaction costs for Conservation Easement Projects with owners of viable agricultural lands that are at risk of conversion to non-farm uses. Each Conservation Easement Project must result in a perpetual agricultural conservation easement for which the participating landowner has donated the full value of development rights (i.e., the landowner receives no financial consideration for the sale of the perpetual agricultural conservation easement).
Grant applications will be accepted on a continuous basis. The RFA will remain open and awards will be made until such time as available funds are fully committed, or the RFA is closed. |
