It’s a question all conservation organizations face: how can we focus on saving the most important land in our area when we have limited resources? The answer is “strategic conservation planning.”
This day-long seminar is a part of the 2009 LTA Rally in Portland, Oregon. Strategic conservation planning is a process that helps land trusts identify, prioritize, pursue, and protect land that will most effectively achieve their mission and conservation objectives. The training topics will include: exploring why strategic conservation is vital for successful land trusts; learning the major components of a successful planning process; assessing your organization’s readiness for developing such a plan; and finally investigating various methods and decision aiding tools (both high tech and low tech approaches). This engaging full day seminar will highlight how strategic conservation planning can help you prepare for Accreditation, how conservation planning can help you during this economic downturn, and discussion issues specific to Western landscapes. Interactive exercises connect participants with real life scenarios, providing the skills for land trust staff and board members to help their organization reach its full potential.
