Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is offering a Landscape Partnership Grant for FY 2027‑2029 to support collaborative acquisition of large, contiguous conservation and working landscapes. Up to $1.25 million in grant funds (50 % reimbursement of eligible costs) are available for partnerships that include at least two eligible entities (municipalities, water districts, 501(c)(3) conservation nonprofits, state/federal agencies, or tribal governments). Projects must meet county‑specific minimum acreage thresholds, provide permanent public access, and align with climate‑resilience, forest‑conservation, and water‑supply protection goals. Funding may be used for land purchases, appraisal, survey, title work, and related acquisition costs; other expenses (legal fees, staff salaries, equipment) are excluded. Applicants must submit a complete application by March 11, 2027, with mandatory appraisal documentation and adhere to strict acquisition and recording deadlines for each fiscal year.
