Strategies:

• Assess, identify, and record the outstanding features of the estate.
• Prepare alternative development scenarios to measure the capacity of the land, including financial analyses of each scenario.
• Conduct work sessions with the family to reach an agreement on the preferred balance between development and conservation.
• Identify lands to be retained by individual family members.

Outcomes:
