Land conservation - in 2023, sealt made progress on several Land conservation projects but did not acquire any new Land. Conservation project development includes: prioritization mapping projects, conservation site selection, due diligence, and acquisition of conservation easement or fee simple properties, including those acquired with funding from developers paid to sealt via its in-lieu fee instrument with the u.s. army corps of engineers. Sealt's Land conservation program also includes outreach and communication with landowners, site visits, report preparation, and negotiations with landowners.
