Working with conservation orgs & land trusts
How we partner

How we work with conservation orgs & land trusts.

Easements, working-lands programs, and watershed restoration work best when they meet a real farm economy. Partnering with groups such as the Huron River Watershed Council and the Natural Land Institute, we translate conservation goals into operational plans that landowners and operators are willing to sign onto — and stay with.

  • Working-lands easement design and stewardship terms
  • Watershed and BMP plans grounded in HUC hydrology
  • Habitat restoration integrated with the working farm
  • Landowner outreach materials and engagement design
