With limited budgets and big plans, land conservation can be tough. Which places get saved? In what order? And why? We offer strategies and tools that government leaders, conservationists, and others need to answer these sorts of questions. Our work in places like Houston, Chicago, Milwaukee and Nashville demonstrates that strategic conservation makes economic sense—yielding cost savings that can be calculated and environmental rewards to last for generations.  

What We Offer:
  • Strategic Conservation Guidance: Solutions to conservation planning challenges.
  • GIS Decision Support Tools: Quality maps, databases and other decision tools.
  • Optimization Models: Models for data-driven conservation recommendations. 
  • Green Infrastructure Plans: Comprehensive plans that identify community priorities and goals; inventory current community assets; map green space networks; develop implementation strategies; and build capacity for communities to fulfill conservation vision.
  • Mitigation Strategies: Services to inform habitat conservation plans; transportation improvement; military compatible-use buffer programs; and energy infrastructure.
