About
COUNTRYSIDE INITIATIVE The Countryside Initiative is an ambitious effort, begun in 1999 to rehabilitate and revitalize 20 or so of the picturesque old farms which operated in the Cuyahoga Valley from the 19th century to the mid 20th - thereby restoring for public use and enjoyment many of the historic, scenic, natural and recreational values for which Cuyahoga Valley National Park CVNP was created, particularly the Valleys rural landscape and rural character. The Countryside Initiative involves a creative three-way partnership between CVNP, the Conservancy and private sector farmers. CVNP rehabilitates the old farms, and retains ownership control of their operation and management. The Conservancy provides technical information and guidance on sustainable agriculture practices to CVNP as well as potential and actual farm lessees. Rehabilitated farms are offered for long-term lease up to 60 years through a competitive process called a Request for Proposals.
