The Georgia Conservancy’s 2021-2023 Strategic Plan
The Georgia Conservancy is excited to announce that 2021 kicks-off our new three-year strategic plan. This living document stands firmly on the foundation of the Georgia Conservancy’s history and is the result of input from a wide variety of stakeholders including trustees, members, staff, partners, legislators and funders; it seeks to fuel the vision of a preferred future for a Georgia where all people and the environment thrive.
As our communities and environment continue to face pressures from population increase and climate change, the Georgia Conservancy understands that the efficient use of land and strategic conservation of natural resources is critical to ensuring a prosperous and equitable future. The plan outlines ways in which we can address these challenges by partnering together to create solutions balancing three priorities: ecology, economy and equity.
Our work will focus in four areas: healthy natural systems, thriving communities, engaged Georgians, and a strong Georgia Conservancy in service of our updated mission: Protecting Georgia through ecological and economic solutions for stewardship, conservation and sustainable use of the land and its resources.
Our Vision: A Georgia where all people and the environment thrive.
Our Mission: Protecting Georgia through ecological and economic solutions for stewardship, conservation, and sustainable use of the land and its resources.
