A Little Help from Friends: Partnerships for Parks

What new financial tools and collaborative approaches are currently being used among different levels of government, and among public, private, and non-profit sectors to expand and maintain parks and open space in North America?  A broad mix of collaborative funding and governance tools will be surveyed to gain practical and policy insights into those which could be successfully applied in the GTA, including: park trusts, foundations, conservancies and adopt-a-park programs, land use planning, conservation easements, land trusts, partnerships, and other stewardship models.
