How we help you

National Parks are cornerstones of natural beauty and recreation. Yet, ensuring their continued success relies heavily on fostering a strong connection with the surrounding communities. Commonplace empowers local authorities and developers to put the community at the heart of decision-making for National Park projects.  Our National Park Engagement suite offers a suite of user-friendly tools to facilitate open dialogue, gather valuable insights, and build trust with stakeholders.  With Commonplace, you can create interactive maps for highlighting proposed developments, host online forums to gather community feedback and conduct surveys to gauge public sentiment on park usage and conservation efforts.  This collaborative approach fosters transparency and builds a sense of shared ownership, leading to more sustainable and well-received National Park projects.
