The Resilient Lands Initiative
The Resilient Lands Initiative (RLI) is a vision and plan that will guide actions to conserve, restore, and care for the land to benefit both nature and people. The RLI is distinct from other land conservation plans because both visioning and implementation were approached with two overarching considerations in mind: 1) justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion and 2) climate change.
At its core, the Resilient Lands Initiative is a playbook of powerful strategies to reduce the impacts of climate change on our most vulnerable populations and to protect and improve the quality of life for residents of every Massachusetts community through land conservation, restoration, and stewardship initiatives that conserve and enhance the health of the forests, farms, and soils.
