Land Conservancy Publications and Links
Planning Bulletins
Tall Timbers Land Conservancy is one of the few land trusts in the nation that focus not only on protecting land, but promoting sustainable communities through sound planning. We work with community leaders from the private and public sectors on growth management issues to ensure that the natural resources and special character of communities are conserved. The TTLC Planning Bulletin is produced three times a year to inform our members and the general public of planning issues that affect the Red Hills region.
Beginning in April 2008, the Planning Bulletin will be incorporated into our new online newsletter, the Tall Timbers E-News, which will be distributed via email. This format will be more accessible to our constituents and more cost efficient for Tall Timbers. An initial notification will let those for whom we have email addresses subscribe to receive this electronic publication. A recipient can unsubscribe at any time, and a printed version of the Tall Timbers E-News will be available upon request for those who prefer a printed newsletter.
