RFP Call Seeks Help in Scoping Conservation Easement Project

The U.S. Endowment today released its fourth Request for Pre-proposal (RFP). “This particular project is an exciting first-step to scope the potential to pull disparate sources of land conservation data into a single system that could empower conservation planning and rural economic development in ways never before possible,” said Endowment President Carlton Owen. The work emerges from conversations that the Endowment has been having with the nation’s leading conservation easement holders across federal agencies and the not-for-profit community. For more background on the topic see the report, “Forest Conservation Easements: Who’s Keeping Track?” To learn more about the RFP view Initiatives and Grants, RFP’s, RFP 2008-004.
