Overview
To offer valuable land conservation insights from a variety of perspectives, The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts organizes a regional land trust conference featuring well-known and informative speakers.
The annual Southeastern Massachusetts Land Trust Convocation serves as a vital forum for training, professional development, and regional collaboration. Workshops cover critical aspects of nonprofit conservation management, including:
-
Land Protection: Legal strategies, Conservation Restrictions (CRs), tax benefits, and tax title lands.
-
Land Stewardship: Baseline documentation, trail design, invasive species management, and monitoring.
-
Membership Outreach: Public engagement, community science, and communication strategies.
-
Fundraising & Capital Campaigns: Major donor strategies, state grants (LAND/PARC), and Community Preservation Act (CPA) funding.
The Compact welcomes suggestions for future convocation topics and workshop sessions.
