Throughout 2010, the Conservation Leadership Network worked with a broad array of partners, bringing together professionals at national, state, regional, and local levels to achieve common ground, and most importantly, on-the-ground results that benefit our treasured natural resources, economic health, and overall quality of life. Select highlights are included in this Year in Review, along with important information on several of our key events planned for next year—new courses, new projects, new partnerships, producing ever stronger results. We hope you enjoy the Year in Review!
 In 2010, the Conservation Leadership Network developed and offered two new pilot courses designed to address pressing problems and to facilitate conservation on the ground: Conservation Banking, a course for regulators, users, and bankers; and a course entitled Planning for Climate Change Using a Green Infrastructure Approach. We engaged new partners with both of these courses! Additionally, we welcomed many other new partners this year including the European Union Commission!

While the development and offering of training programs plays a major role in achieving on-the-ground results, CLN also meets its goals through sustainability consulting, technical assistance/capacity building, and the development of strategic innovative projects that prove to be ground-breaking and offer transferable strategies. We like to work at the nexus of the environment and economy, and look forward to expanding our partnership opportunities in 2011!
