Abstract
The Montana Land Reliance is a small not-for-profit organization in the business of creating conservation easements on private lands in Montana. The easements preserve the scenic character and recreational value of the lands by precluding subdivision and other forms of real estate development. The Reliance, established only in 1976, has grown rapidly in recent years. At the time of the case, its leaders face the need to define the market they want to serve, determine the right rate of growth, and create the institutional capabilities to capitalize on their early successes.
