Services and Resources for Municipalities

Municipalities often find themselves struggling to balance open space conservation with the need for growth. Sometimes, the deck seems stacked against officials trying to save their community's remaining open lands.

The good news is that Natural Lands Trust has a variety of ways to help communities find a balance and take a more proactive approach to managing growth. From mapping existing resources to implementing open space plans and revising local ordinances, our staff offers tools that can have a real impact on a community's future.
