The two Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) projects are well on their way. Recently the consulting team from Wolfs Company and Aligning Visions sent a comprehensive survey to just over 100 CTFs – the 50% response rate was exceptional, and has produced a robust body of data that will, along with interviews, inform the 10-Year Review of CTFs. We extend tremendous thanks to the CTFs that took the time to complete the survey and contribute to this process. The updates to the Practice Standards for CTFs are also moving ahead. The CTF Projects Task Force will review a complete draft of the Standards in the second half of March.
Starting in mid-April, the draft will be circulated to the Environmental Funds Working Group (EFWG) for review and comment. Anyone who wants to participate in the review process is encouraged to join the EFWG.
We plan to launch the updated Practice Standards and the 10-Year Review at the CFA’s Pavilion at the World Conservation Congress in June.
