These developers are demonstrating their commitment to conservation and concern for the land with deed easements, maintaining stream and water quality, providing habitat plants and wildlife in the areas of their properties, tree beautification projects, providing walking trails, green building and restoration of endangered species. These developers and their communities become models, setting an environmental standard. FRIENDS has approached some of these developers to establish a partnership that focuses on the mutual objectives of environmental stewardship.
