Strategic Conservation Planning
Strategic Planning for Conservation Organizations: Results-Oriented & Equity-Focused
Land and Water Connections recently finished two separate strategic planning processes. Working with both the Aspen Valley Land Trust and the Placer Land Trust, we guided the creation of new equity- and climate-focused conservation plans. We lead internal and external partner engagement and provided strategic guidance for new project prioritization criteria as well as community-based conservation approaches.

“Amy's leadership allowed us to dive in and get results.”
“I worked with Amy on the development of a strategic conservation plan for Aspen Valley Land Trust. Amy was able to help us think through big-picture issues related to equity and climate resilience and she was able to dig into the weeds by providing detailed guidance on project selection criteria. We had been trying to begin this huge task for some time and Amy's leadership allowed us to dive in and get results. Amy has a unique combination of deep knowledge about conservation and related data, excellent facilitation and communication skills, and great analytical abilities. That combination makes her a huge asset to land trusts who are looking to be more strategic in their work. Her poise and honesty made our stakeholders feel comfortable and heard. I feel that our conservation plan is a powerful tool because of the data, insight, and action items that Amy helped us identify. I highly recommend working with Amy.”
