What It Is
A holistic, decision-making analysis and planning tool called D-MAP aims to help landowners. The tool teaches how to update land management strategies and achieve goals by shifting to more nature-based, regenerative practices that enhance resilience, overall value, productivity, and enjoyment.
Where To Find It
Currently, the D-MAP tool consists of a web page on the Project Bedrock website that summarizes the six-step process (see back for basic outline).
Next Steps
The new D-MAP website, launching this spring, will contain landing pages for each step. A promotional printed pamphlet will provide QR code links for the website and
pages. Page content will expand over time to include how-to details that include
decision-making flowcharts, data charts, images, videos, and supporting research.

Reading The Land
Learning how to “read” your land is vital to more sustainable land management. Reading your land simply means taking the steps needed to develop a more holistic understanding of your land that includes the pros and cons.
Reading your land should be done before you set your goals. Once you determine what your land can do for you, then set your goals.
Using this approach produces will produce longer-lasting, more resilient results because you will be working with the land as opposed to forcing it to be something it cannot or should not be.
We will develop an online guide to help landowners read their own land. See the basic steps outlined below.
