IRS990/Desc0Technical training and assistance to land trusts: build the capacity of Wisconsin land trusts and conservation organizations through one-on-one mentorship and technical assistance, conferences, and workshops. The "land trust education and advancement program" (LEAP) works intensively with selected land trusts to move them closer to accreditation by the Land Trust Alliance, a national association of land trusts. Since 2011 Gathering Waters has provided LEAP assistance to over 30 land trusts across Wisconsin. During 2018 Gathering Waters organized a statewide conference for conservation organizations attended by approximately 100 participants. In addition, during 2018 Gathering Waters launched Land Trust Days, an effort to promote opportunities for members of the public to participate in activities organized by Wisconsin's land trusts on land that they have protected.
