Healthy Country Planning
Where communities are interested, GreenCollar works in partnership with Conservation Management to offer Healthy Country Planning which is a process designed to enable communities to articulate their vision and priorities for country, culture and people and develop strategic targets to achieve that vision. Healthy Country Planning is a process that facilitates conversation and allows questions about benefits and risks to be explored and understood.
