land conservation consulting
A big part of the work we do at Natural Lands is helping other non-profits and government agencies with their open space goals.
helping others reach their open space goals
Open spaces are crucial for healthy, thriving communities. More than just pretty places, natural areas increase our home values, clean the air we breathe and the water we drink, and improve our health and state of mind.
That’s why we work with local governments to help their leaders make smart, proactive decisions to make the most of their community green spaces. More than 150 municipalities have achieved their own open space goals in consultation with our conservation services staff.
our fee-based consultation services:
- review and revision of zoning codes to preserve open space during development
- identify priority lands for conservation
- land protection/acquisition
- assist with acquiring land, conservation easements, and trail easements
- mapping
- grant applications
- open space referenda
- park and open space master planning
- trail planning
- guidance on park and open space maintenance
- recommendations for invasive plant removal
- assistance with lawn-to-meadow conversions
- design interpretative and wayfinding signage
