Welcome to the Private Lot Network!

Please fill out this survey for us about the lot you're working to access!

This group is a resource for folks to talk with each other about their work for community access to privately owned vacant lots.

We are not actively moderating this group. If there is a problem - send a message to organizers@596acres.org.

No spam! Keep the contents of this group limited to questions about community land access to privately owned lots, and the mutual support you can offer each other.

We hope to eventually be able to facilitate this effort in a more direct way, but for now I hope you can all share your wisdom with each other.
