How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Conservation Through Strategic Acquisition and Sale
    methodology: conservation_through_acquisition_and_sale
    By acquiring properties through gifts, placing conservation easements on them, and then selling the properties, we generate sustainable funding for ongoing land trust programs while ensuring long-term land protection, because this approach leverages donated assets to create both ecological and financial returns.
