I wanna buy a 400 acre ranch! How do I get some of them federal and state grants?

Also, I could be mistaken but I think that the Nature Conservancy is the richest organization of its type with billions in assets.

Interesting that our money is used to buy land from which we will be excluded. You can't make this up, folks.

The Nature Conservancy has received a $660,000 federal grant...

Unfrickinbelieveable.

The Federal Gov't should not be giving this nonprofit a penny!!!!

The Nature Conservancy Has 3+ Billion Dollars In Assets!

"Though Jim (James Cagney) had no real ownership with it, he appreciated it," Adkison said. "He also wrote poetry about nature

The Feds will someday
Get this land, but me? Never!
Top of the world, Ma!

They'll sell this joint to
The Nature Conservancy
For you dirty rats.

...San Diego fairy shrimp, arroyo toad, Stephen's kangaroo rat and the threatened California gnatcatcher...?!!

Most everywhere else we call them vermine. What the heck is our tax dollars doing confescating private property to protect vermine?

Excellent post. Too may free market people contribute to the NC believing the false line that the NC is pro-freedom. There are some good free market environmental groups out there, like PIRC, which deserve such support, but not the NC.

If the Nature Conservancy follows it's usual pattern, it will use taxpayer money to finance the purchase and then in a few years will sell the land to either the state or the feds for a nice tidy profit.

Doing well by doing good (with other peoples money).

Anybody ever wonder about the USFWS making a "grant" or "donation"....Come on... those are taxpayer's dollars!!

Start mapping these acquistions by public agencies and public interest groups like the Nature Conservancy, they are building rings around cities of no-growth barriers. They darned near have it done in the SF Bay area, City of San Luis Obispo and along the Gaviota Coast of Santa Barbara County.
