“I have worked with John Gaadt closely for the past 5 years through our connection with the Alliance for the Red Clay Scenic Byway. John has been of invaluable help to me. He has always been a great wellspring of knowledge about land use and protection but willing and happy to share this information. He is thorough and works collaboratively. He delivers a complete, well researched, and thorough plan. His work shows his passion for land protection and the natural environment. He understands that people and natural resources CAN coexist. I highly recommend his company, Gaadt Perspectives.”
