The Nature Conservancy
Greenprints
Strategic conservation planning. Nature based solutions. Community benefits.
The Greenprint Resource Hub is designed to help planners, policymakers, and the public learn about greenprints and how they can be utilized for conservation.
Greenprint Benefits
Greenprinting helps identify nature-based solutions to address challenges facing communities.
These solutions can range from conserving natural lands to protect drinking water, preserving working lands to support rural economies, restoring habitat to protect wildlife, and expanding urban forests and creating parks to improve community health.
Learn about greenprints
A greenprint is a plan or tool that reveals the range of benefits provided by natural infrastructure in community planning. The collaborative process brings together people and science early in the planning stage to identify the economic and social benefits of nature-based solutions.
