Our Guiding Principles

• Landscape-level
  Comprehensive approach to manage and conserve productive working landscapes while meeting desired ecological, economic and social outcomes.
• Willing Participation
  Intended to benefit all those who choose to be involved and not impose unreasonable requirements or restrictions on landowners.
• Inherently Collaborative
  Work with landscape partners to establish goals, develop management plans, leverage resources, and monitor progress.
• Local Solutions-Broadly Informed
  Identify local challenges and work locally to find and share successful approaches.
• Overcoming Barriers
  Discover real or perceived barriers and find ways to remove or overcome them in a timely manner.
• No “One-Size Fits All”
  Effective outcome-based land management will need to be adapted to a local setting and require extensive flexibility, thus a rigid and prescriptive framework will not work.
