Unlock significant funding for conservation through federal programs.

The federal government is a vital source of funding for land and natural resource conservation in the United States. Parks and public lands, productive farms and ranches, vital wildlife habitat, healthy watersheds and more all receive federal dollars. Federal funding typically leverages contributions from state, local and private sources — enabling the protection of some of the highest priority resources in the country.
