Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Through this new agreement, Kachemak Heritage Land Trust (KHLT) measurably increases the support and long-term conservation of federal trust resources on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
The goal of funding this first year of the agreement is to continue and build upon Kachemak Heritage Land Trust's previous work described in USFWS F20AC00644 to permanently preserve priority fish and wildlife habitat through landowner contact and outreach to the public, performance of due diligence on properties of interest, and voluntary habitat protection.
A quantitative estimate of acreage will be provided to USFWS associated with this cooperative agreement as projects develop. KHLT will accomplish each activity indicated in coordination with KHLT partners and USFWS.
Objectives include:
1. Continue to work with the Mountains to Sea Partnership by serving on the partnership's advisory team and by pursuing potential projects that may be appropriate for KHLT within the Mountains to Sea geography.
2. Continue to foster the social infrastructure supporting healthy watershed protection by adopting Great Land Trust's "Baby Salmon Live Here" and "King Maker" programs.
3. Implement the Anchor River Plan, as developed in Option Year 3 of the previous cooperative agreement. This will include a land protection component and a community outreach component.
4. Collaborate with the Kenai Fish Habitat Partnership to continue to focus on fish habitat when appropriate. This will include working through the partnership to enhance the work of the Mountains to Sea Project.
5. Monitor its fee-owned and conservation easement lands annually and address management issues on these properties, as necessary.
6. Work with landowners across the Kenai Peninsula to permanently preserve about 100 acres of important land through conservation easement, acquisition, or through other conservation tools and by working with partners. In this work, KHLT will obtain surveys, environmental assessments, contract services for attorneys, geologists, and biologists for new and ongoing conservation projects and other items required for appropriate due diligence.
7. Attend National Land Trust Conference and/or participate in other relevant training opportunities.
