Coalition Involvements
Too many to list, but TPL’s annual report notes that it
has worked with over 300 of the nation’s 1,200 land trusts.
The N. Y. State DEC and the U.S. Forest Service are among the
government bodies in New York State with which TPL works with.
Comments
The Trust for Public Land has not been involved in acquiring giant tracts of land in the North Country yet, but it indeed has been involved in land acquisition throughout the State and in the north, albeit not rivaling TNC , OSI, or the Conservation Fund in magnitude of their acquisitions up north.
In addition to acquiring land on behalf of government, TPL
advocates in Congress for passage of legislation to make possible
more government land acquisition. Key programs that it lobbies
for are the Land and Water Conservation Fund, Conservation
and Reinvestment Act, Transportation Enhancements under TEA-21
(a follow-up to ISTEA), Wetlands Reserve Program, Farmland Protection
Program, and Forest Legacy Program.
