Program Activities
Forest Legacy complements private, federal and state programs focusing on conservation in two ways. First, FLP directly supports property acquisition. Additionally, FLP supports efforts to acquire donated conservation easements. FLP funded acquisitions serve public purposes identified by participating states and agreed to by the landowner.
On May 18, 2009 US Forest Service chief announced land grants to protect more than 5,000 acres (20 km2) of forest in northern Vermont. The land is going to be conserved with the help of a $1.8 million under the Eden Forest project.
