What is the Landscape Partnership?

The Landscape Partnership is a virtual portal that supports landscape-scale conservation by better connecting professionals and landowners to one another and to the resources they develop. Successful conservation is built upon good working relationships, access to key tools and products, and the knowledge needed to apply them in the field. The LP Learning Network is one space made possible by the Landscape Partnership.
