The goal of land conservation will impact Burt's Bees ability to grow. The company's founders, specifically Roxanne Quimby, have a goal of establishing a National Park in the state of Maine. To facilitate this goal, Ms. Quimby has used corporate profits to purchase tracts of wildness land.

However, investing in land reduces the funds available for company growth. (Burt's Bees Company History. Retrieved March 3, 2010, from Answers.com http://www.answers.com/topic/burt-s-bees-inc).....
