New England has, for nearly four centuries, been a leader in public, private and non-profit conservation innovation. With the groundswell of regional interest in Wildlands and Woodlands specifically, and in landscape-scale conservation more generally, New Englanders are again well-positioned to provide leadership in the practice of innovative conservation, this time in the twenty-first century.
