Event Description
The KLTC’s efforts with the Kentucky General Assembly to fund the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund (KHLCF) was a SUCCESS! The 2024-25 state budget added $2 million to the KHLCF, the first time the KHLCF will receive general funds in its 30-year history! This is a tremendous starting point for seeking new conservation revenue sources in future sessions.
The Ky Land Trusts Coalition (KLTC) will hold a free in-person meeting on Tuesday, May 14 at the Paul Sawyier Public Library in Frankfort focusing on developing successful applications for Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund grants, including requirements for applications, advantageous partnerships, how to maximize KHLCF funding, and examples of successful projects. The KLTC would like to see multiple groups take advantage of this funding opportunity, it is important to show officials that there is a demand for conservation funding!
Additional information will be presented on the the Kentucky Ohio River Regional Recreation Authority (KORRRA) and Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) projects that were also part of recent legislation. There will also be time to network with other conservation groups.
10 AM: Speakers will include-
Zeb Weese, Kentucky Land Trusts Coalition and retired KHLCF Chair
Christy Noll, Boone Conservancy Executive Director
Jessie Hancock, Bluegrass Land Conservancy Executive Director
Justin Merrifield, Land Trust Alliance Senior Project Manager
11:30 AM: Lunch from Kentucky Coffeetree Cafe ($10 per person payable online)
