The Western Landowners Alliance and WRA have partnered up on a blog series focused on how landowners can leverage the opportunities offered by conservation finance to further both conservation and economic goals. Each blog will provide an understanding of key concepts, market players and trends, and financial, risk and land management considerations particular to a topic. The blog series will also feature case studies and an assessment tool for landowners to evaluate their own property for that specific conservation finance opportunity.
Part Two is now available: Wetland and Stream Mitigation Banking
