The LeRay McAllister Critical Land Conservation Fund is an incentive program providing grants to encourage communities and landowners to work together to conserve their critical lands. The fund targets lands that are deemed important to the community such as agricultural lands, wildlife habitat, watershed protection, and other culturally or historically unique landscapes.
Purpose
Money from the Fund must be used to preserve or restore open lands and agricultural lands. Please see the definitions for "open land" and "agricultural land" in the application materials. Generally, municipal parks, ball fields, and other types of developed, active recreation areas are not critical lands as defined by the Quality Growth Act.
Eligibility
Funding is typically available to: Utah counties, cities, towns, the Utah Department of Natural Resources, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, and charitable organizations that qualify as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
