We support public, community, and non-profit partners on a range of parks, trails, and land conservation research, planning, advocacy, and analysis efforts
Economic Benefits Analysis
Our economic benefits research focus is on the values of parks, trails, and conserved lands to the local community. For example, a community may be interested in measuring the values of a park system improving water quality, generating travel and tourism, enabling recreation, strengthening economic development, enhancing property values, reducing air pollution, providing health care cost savings, and supporting agriculture, forestry, and commercial fishing.
Impactful Research
Each place is unique, and therefore, so are research needs. Our team can work with you to design research to meet your specific goals. For example, forecasting the impact of building a trail for a grant application or a case study to highlight the on the ground impact of a conservation easement for a community.
