Key to the Landscape Conservation Design process is the selection of “landscape features” that are important to conserve into the future. Landscape features represent the broader ecology, culture, and economics of the landscape. The full complexity of the High Divide is difficult to model, so we instead focus on a collection of features that all partners recognize as prominent elements of the landscape. We select features that have reliable data and have the opportunity to collectively influence or manage. This current collection of features is iterative and subject to change as we move through the process.
This website will remain temporarily available to provide partners access to resources and view past work.
We plan to host one final gathering to round out this chapter. The High Divide Collaborative Celebration will take place later in summer of 2026, and we will be in touch via email with partners to provide more details in the coming months.
Thank you to all the partners who have collaborated and contributed valuable work over the years!
