 | | In several rapidly growing communities, developers, conservation advocates, and local officials are working together—under the aegis of a Community Stewardship Organization—to ensure that new development creates sustainable communities that incorporate ecological, social, and economic benefits. |
 | | A CSO’s impact extends beyond the development itself, often forging partnerships with adjacent public land managers, local land trusts, and other conservation interests. |
 | | The mission of the CSO Network is to educate others about the CSO concept, facilitate networking and exchanging of information among current members, and help individual CSOs realize their mission. |
