    About This Practice

    This guidance covers Practice 8D, which includes two elements:

    1. Individually plan all land and conservation easement projects so that:

      1. a. The land trust identifies the best available conservation strategy for the property

      2. b. The property’s important conservation values are protected

      3. c. The project furthers the land trust’s mission and goals

    2. Assess the stewardship implications of each project and the land trust’s capacity to meet those obligations
