It's nice to see so much interest in the land trust model and thought folks might be interested in information on some resources. The California State Coastal Conservancy published a book called _The Nonprofit Primer, A Guide for Land Trusts_ that may be of interest to people. It's geared for conservation land trusts, but has much wider application and it's free (or at least it used to be). The book's chapters cover things like forming a land trust, incorporating a nonprofit, getting tax exempt status, fundraising, management, etc. To check on its current availability, contact: The State Coastal Conservancy 1330 Broadway, Suite 1100 Oakland, CA 94612 (415) 464-1015 Another good resource is the Institute for Community Economics (ICE), which promotes Community Land Trusts (CLTs) as a way to create permanently affordable ownership housing with thought community ownership of the land (i.e., home owners own their units and lease the land from the CLT for 99 years). ICE has a number of publications, including a newsletter. They also provide consulting services, technical assistance and interim financing through their loan fund. Check them out at: Institute for Community Economics 57 School Street Springfield, MA 01105-1331 (413) 746-8660 In addition, the State of Vermont promotes and helps finance agricultural. Some of the folks up there can probably provide some pointers or assistance. I'll check to see if I can provide contacts if folks are interested. The folks at ICE can also provide referrals to Vermont. I hope this is helpful.
