    • The Conserving Ecologically Valuable Land program provides grants for land conservation efforts in the Southeast.
    • The Urban Farming and Youth Leadership program supports initiatives in low-income urban areas in the Northeast that help young people to create urban farms and local markets.
    • The Making Paper Production Sustainable program seeks to increase the rates of recycled paper in large paper sectors, reduce sourcing from endangered forests, and maximize clean production nationwide.
