Controlling land — and what happens on that land — is key to self-determination.

Join us for a one-hour conversation on Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. PT/ 1 p.m. ET about different strategies for community-controlled land.

We’ll hear from the Center for Community Investment about national trends and best practices in community land ownership. They’ll share which community ownership models have been deployed to support different goals, whether wealth-building, affordable housing, or piloting sustainable ways to farm.

The McKnight Foundation will dive into its support of community land trusts in the Twin Cities, including work to help rebuild Rondo, a historic Black community torn apart by highway construction.

Finally, we’ll learn about an emerging body of work at the 11th Hour Project to empower residents of small, environmentally challenged places in the San Joaquin Valley to reclaim and revitalize the land they work.

This webinar is co-hosted by TFN’s GREEN working group and the San Joaquin Valley Funders’ Collaborative, a working group of TFN’s Smart Growth California initiative.
