The Conservation Blueprint is a project of the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County. The Blueprint will combine scientific analysis with extensive community input to identify the highest priorities for land conservation in Santa Cruz County.

The project is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. In addition, the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County is funding four community workshops, which will be held early in 2010.

The Conservation Blueprint is being developed by a core Project Team, with guidance from a Steering Committee and input from Technical Advisors.
