Land and neighborhood character.

The natural features around homes can become part of how a community understands itself.

Character has a landscape.

In a dense urban environment, trees, rock outcrops, slopes and open views can provide relief from development and a sense of continuity.

Park Hill as a case study

Recent community reporting describes Park Hill's long-running land-protection effort and the continued monitoring of protected building lots.

Conservation is also cultural.

Protecting land can preserve more than habitat. It can preserve the visual memory and neighborhood relationships that grow around a place.
