Sometimes grant programs and good will aren't enough to do the right by the earth. We partner with local communities, landowners, land trusts, and conservation organizations to access private capital for conservation from our network of community and corporate sponsors. When current funding isn't enough compensation to preserve natural capital, we're here to help.
Nominate a projectWhat if you could change the future of land use? We measure what's going to disappear. In doing so, our users can maximize the additionality of funds deployed toward protecting farms, forests, and fields. Cutting-edge machine learning techniques outline risk factors, while parcel-level granularity enables users to evaluate insights at the resolution they need for taking action.
We aim to unlock a virtuous cycle that engages corporations, landowners, and the surrounding communities - who all benefit from open space - in a shared cause about protecting the most valuable land for a carbon-neutral and sustainable future. Imagine if you could swipe your credit card at the pump to offset the emissions of your hybrid car, and on your way home you drive past the conservation project that your money is supporting.
Our ideal corporate partners operate in the regions where they sponsor carbon, conservation, and mitigation projects. Employees of corporate partners benefit from the open space where their employers support sustainable forest management and regenerative agriculture. CO2 emissions from facility operations can be locally offset, rather than shipped globally. Funds to local conservation stimulate new ecosystem services that preserve clean air, provide shade and windbreaks, retain water, and produce local forest and agricultural products.
