Colorado Forest Legacy Program: Federal Fiscal Year 2014 Funding

The Colorado State Forest Service is currently accepting Forest Legacy Program proposals from Colorado landowners. The program authorizes the U.S. Forest Service, through the CSFS, to purchase permanent conservation easements on private forestlands to prevent those lands from being converted to non-forest uses. The program provides an opportunity for private landowners to retain ownership and management of their land, while receiving compensation for unrealized development rights.
