The Maine Land Protection grant aims to support projects that create or increase permanent access to land and water for marginalized and historically excluded populations. These projects should involve community support and present a clear vision for the future use and care of the land. Priority is given to projects that can significantly benefit from the grant, either by paying a major portion of the purchase price, securing additional funds, or completing a fundraising campaign. Special consideration is also given to projects that benefit communities and the economy, address climate change impacts, conserve critical habitats, and enhance outdoor recreation. The funding covers costs associated with land or conservation easement purchases, including legal fees and stewardship funds, with grants up to $50,000.
