A question was raised by a local town leader who needs ways to show the value of ecosystem services of conserved land beyond simply “avoided costs.” Stormwater management is one of 7 such values @tpl_org has calculated. Another commenter pointed to strongtowns.org/journal/2018…

For the Sebago Lake watershed in Maine, clean drinking water depends on local forests. A filtration plant would raise costs by 84%. Every $1 for conservation = $8 in benefits. This innovative #2019RCP session led by @SpencerRMeyer includes both economists & conservationists.
