The Greenprint process is organized based on a set of targeted conservation goals, specific to Door County. These goals, identified by local and regional advisors, provide a thematic framework for the Greenprint analysis. Each goal has been characterized using best available data, scientific review, and advanced analysis. The following are links to overview maps for each Greenprint goal. For more detailed, customized maps use the Interactive Mapping tool or Contact Us tab.
