Strategic Planning

CLG provides strategic planning expertise and a range of consulting services to public agencies and non-profit organizations that focus on land protection in California.

We work with our clients to identify short and long term conservation priorities and objectives, which may include projects that contribute to the recovery of endangered species, enhance wildlife movement corridors, protect prime farmland or forests, restore critical watershed lands, and/or meet local, regional and state conservation goals.

CLG assists its clients in developing and implementing financing plans including identifying and securing funding sources, initiating new strategic alliances/partnerships, and leveraging mitigation and carbon offset opportunities, if appropriate. We also develop marketing plans that include outreach to a range of constituencies such as private landowners, advocacy groups, state and federal land management agencies, business interests and community stakeholders.

Finally, CLG keeps its clients up-to-date on the timing and availability of funding sources, new and pending legislation, potential opposition to projects, and other matters that could affect the success of their land conservation programs.
