We are now accepting new applications for land trust participation in Land Trust Excellence & Advancement Program (LEAP) customized services. We are very excited to have the resources to continue LEAP in the coming two years and have opened up a second round of applications.
Early this year, Gathering Waters launched LEAP, a program of services for land trusts that are both universally available as well as customized. We have brought LEAP to Wisconsin land trusts jointly with the Land Trust Alliance in order to work with land trusts to uphold our perpetual conservation obligations as a community.
LEAP universal services are open to all Wisconsin land trusts and consist of trainings, workshops, and other opportunities available throughout the year. Customized services are available to select land trusts by application. Selected participants will receive a customized suite of intensive services in 2012 and 2013 including an assessment, implementation plan, coaching and mentoring, and a grant to accomplish a major goal or task.
To apply for customized services please complete an application and submit it by Friday, December 2, 2011. Questions can be directed to Kate Zurlo-Cuva or MaryKay O’Donnell from the Land Trust Alliance.
