OUR WORK

4 Focus Areas

• Land Conservation: Helping to protect forests, farms, water resources, and open spaces to ensure ecological health and community well-being.

• Natural Hazard Mitigation: Analyzing opportunities for reducing risks from flooding, storms, and other hazards through proactive strategies that safeguard lives and property.

• Climate Adaptation: Supporting communities to adapt to rising seas, shifting weather patterns, and long-term climate impacts.

• Community Planning: Partnering with local governments, organizations, and residents to design inclusive, sustainable plans that balance growth with conservation.

Why It Matters

New England’s landscapes and communities face increasing pressures from climate change and development. By combining conservation with resilience strategies, the Collaborative helps to empower communities to thrive in the face of uncertainty—ensuring that future generations inherit a region that is both vibrant and secure.
