The Conservation Fund 2019 Annual Report

2019 Annual Report

Conservation that Works for America

From Our Chairman and CEO

Jay Winthrop, ChairmanJay WinthropLawrence A. Selzer, PresidentLawrence A. SelzerAs Americans in the midst of a pandemic, we are facing critical public health, economic and social challenges. Yet despite the current chaos, there are fundamental values that still ring true for all of us:

  • We need access to nature—for solace, adventure, exercise and inspiration.
  • We need an economy that considers and supports our natural environment.
  • We need thriving and healthy communities.

We recognize fully that The Conservation Fund is not a relief agency. We are not first responders and we are not providing care on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. But for 35 years, we have built smart solutions that connect complex issues—building resilience into our food systems, mitigating the impact of climate change and helping communities flourish. All to ensure a better, safer, healthier and more sustainable future for all Americans.

In 2019, we worked in communities across the country to complete over 150 projects that combine environmental protection and economic development. We’ve highlighted a few within these pages. But our work is never finished. And with our health, safety, and livelihoods threatened, we have no time to waste.

Each year we lose nearly a million acres of forests and nearly 1.5 million acres of productive farmland. These are working lands critical to our ability to survive and thrive. Our Working Forest Fund and Working Farms Fund are aimed directly at these great challenges. And of course, the demand for outdoor spaces has dramatically increased through this crisis.

As our country cries out for well-paying jobs, stronger supply chains, more resilient communities, and wild places for recreation and inspiration, The Conservation Fund offers solutions. Our models for acquiring and conserving land are the most efficient and effective in the nation.

We hope you’ll help us accelerate our 2019 achievements throughout the rest of 2020 and beyond. We are well positioned to weather this storm. We will emerge stronger still and will continue to add to America’s treasured conservation legacy each and every day.

The Challenge

Bold Solutions

For 35 years, The Conservation Fund has delivered bold conservation solutions that are good for both people and the planet. We reject the idea that we must choose the environment or the economy. We embrace the and. We protect working forests that address climate change and provide jobs. We create urban parks and train local youth in green jobs. We protect farms and food for school kids. We conserve habitat and prevent flooding in communities. We equip communities with tools to save nature and create a vibrant economy.

Getting the Job Done

Each community, landscape and project has different needs. Our can-do staff includes experts who use conservation and finance tools in new ways to meet these needs. We create unique financing mechanisms— low-interest loans, bridge capital, green bonds, impact investing and mitigation funding to get the job done. And if we don’t have the right tool for the job, you can count on us to build a new one.

Doing it Together

Yet, we don’t do this work alone. We are non-partisan and work with outstanding partners large and small to protect the environment and create resilient communities. And no one is as important as you, our donors and partners. Thank you for your support.

Green Bonds Accelerate the Conservation of Working Forests

America’s working forests are disappearing at an alarming rate and once they are gone, we all lose out.

Our Working Forest Fund is a proven model that saves the most critical working forests before it is too late.

Sowing Seeds of Hope for Farmers and Food Systems

America’s food system has been showing significant signs of stress for some time. School kids don’t always have access to healthy foods. Our small farms are disappearing. And now with a pandemic, store shelves are often empty. As we take stock of the need for fresh, nutritious, accessible and affordable food, the question becomes, how do we build a better food system?

Flower Power Enables Growth in Southern California

In spring 2019, a rare super bloom of poppies created a frenzy. More than 800,000 visitors, photographers and nature lovers converged on Walker Canyon to view the vibrant hues blanketing the vast hillsides. Thrilled by so many visitors enjoying and marveling at the site, the landowner wanted to protect his 271-acre property for future tourists and wildlife.

Swift Action Sets a Course for Protecting Colorado’s Pristine Sweetwater Lake

Nearly 100 years ago, Louis “Diamond Jack” Alteri, fled to the picturesque lake to evade authorities and rival gangsters. Since then, subsequent owners have attempted to develop the area. The local community and the U.S. Forest Service have long wanted to see Sweetwater Lake preserved and open to the public but couldn’t compete with bids from developers and investors.

Protection of Tortoise Habitat Provides Assurances to Farming and Forest Industries

Georgia happens to be home to the iconic gopher tortoise, a keystone species whose large burrow systems benefit and support around 350 other species. The gopher tortoise is a candidate for endangered species status in Georgia. If the gopher tortoise becomes federally protected in Georgia, it could have a significant negative impact on the timber and agricultural industry in the south.

From Our CFO

John Gilbert
As Jay and Larry stressed in their opening letter, there is no time to waste in building a better and more sustainable future for all Americans. In 2019, we delivered on that urgent vision by accelerating our work across a number of fronts:

  • We used our balance sheet more aggressively to acquire new conservation properties that we will work to permanently protect. Our investments in new land acquisitions increased 70% when compared to 2018, representing a total purchase price of land in 2019 equal to $214 million.
  • We raised more funding from the bond market and other sources to increase our scale. As a result, our total assets grew over 18% to $1.02 billion (including NCIFund).
  • And we were successful in assisting our trusted partners so they could complete projects that did not require an investment of our funds. In 2019, we provided technical and acquisition assistance to partners with 74 land transactions, an increase of 89% when compared to 2018, to permanently protect 77,000 acres.
  • Finally, we keep pressing forward with new initiatives to conserve working lands and support resilient communities. The Working Farms Fund (described earlier) is a great example of continued progress in 2019.

In addition to our momentum, financial strength and agility, we are fortunate to have an incredible staff that is showing the type of ingenuity and financial discipline necessary for The Conservation Fund to continue to thrive. Forward thinking, risk management and cost control are our top priorities, and if we can do that effectively we will be well positioned for whatever lies ahead.

However, despite our growth we are still fundamentally smaller than the scale of our mission-driven potential. As other sources of conservation finance become scarce, we are seeing an increased demand for our capital and we have to be increasingly selective in our projects. We hope to be able to attract more funding, but we are also using every opportunity to look for innovative ways to partner with others and stretch our capacity.

2019 feels like a long time ago for all of us, but thankfully it was another very strong year for The Conservation Fund, and it has given us important momentum as we manage through this unprecedented COVID-19 and racial injustice upheaval. With strong support from our existing and new partners, we hope to be able to realize our ambitious vision for conservation in America that benefits everyone.

“My wife and I are extremely passionate about doing everything we can to take care of the planet. The Conservation Fund rings true to many of our core values. The money stays in the U.S., the projects are all practical and relatable to average people and are very effective. We feel confident that our donation is being used to its fullest potential.”
