Goals & Strategy
Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.
Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our mission is to preserve and protect the rural character of the region for public benefit. Land conservation, stewardship, community commitment and organizational integrity are the four priorities we see as key to achieve our mission.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Land conservation benefits everyone one. It is essential that a broad demographic understands and values the benefits of our conserved land and becomes involved in our activities. By doing so, we hope that landowners will consider protecting their acreage for the next generation. We also believe that an effective communication message will result in new active members who will continue to uphold the values of Ausbon Sargent.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The best way to achieve all of these goals is to continue on the path of being a trusted organization of excellence as evidenced by our financial stability, strong leadership and management.
We have been able to attract qualified and capable trustees to service on our board. Ausbon Sargent's professional staff is viewed as a strength by members, volunteers, landowners, partners and supporters.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have conserved more than 11,000 acres in our region. But there is more acreage that is worthy of protection .
