Example: The Duck River Highlands Land Use Resource Study – An Excellent Example of Creating Resources for Planning for Open Space Conservation• Broad land and historic preservation initiative to
protect fragile rural resources of north west Maury County
• Initiated by local citizens and facilitated by The Land Trust for Tennessee
• Partners include CRT, THC, TNC, TWRA and NPS • Community meetings:
– Increased understanding of resources – Develop options to help landowners conserve
• Phases:– 1) Inventory natural, cultural, historic and
agricultural resources in the region – 2) Strategic conservation efforts by the Land Trust for
Tennessee and future county-wide comprehensive planning
