Community Conservation Assistance

Local land use decisions affect land and water resources far beyond the originating community.  Community Conservation Assistance (CCA) helps local governments bridge a critical gap between conservation and development planning by providing information, financial assistance and other support to:

• Help local government staff to integrate use of natural resources information into planning and development decisions
• Encourage local governments to adopt land and water safeguards
• Make the state’s immense store of knowledge available to local land-use policymakers in easily understandable ways

Conserving natural resources requires good natural resources information and collaboration by many.
