CCF Supports Passage of Environmental Bond Bill

Last August Governor Jane Swift signed the $707 million Environmental Bond Bill, the commonwealth’s largest effort to support green infrastructure. This was the culmination of a yearlong advocacy effort on the part of a coalition of 140 land trusts. The funds will be used to provide open space acquisitions, capital improvements at state parks and forests and reduction of pollution.

As a member of the Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition CCF helps direct the effective spending of public funds for conservation and promotes the enactment of non-spending legislation such as tax credits and incentives to encourage forestry and agriculture and to preserve open space.

You can help by urging incoming governor Romney to support a conservation agenda as has the last three Republican Governors
