Legacy’s committees play a key role in the organization, advising the board and supporting the staff with planning and delivering programs.
Committees are made of board members and other volunteers from the community.
Conservation
Legacy works with private landowners and funders to select, secure, and manage conservation properties in Mountain View County and surrounding municipalities.
The Conservation Committee advises on all matters related to conservation planning, conservation easements (CEs), and other land stewardship initiatives. This includes responsibility for reviewing and making recommendations on CE grant applications, as well as developing policy and guidance materials for securing and managing CEs.
