Natural Resources Planning
Council frequently assists local governments, state agencies and
federal agencies in identifying and evaluating Natural Resources
of Regional Significance. Staff often participates by conducting
surveys for endangered and threatened species on public and private
properties. Council also helps to design preserve areas and develop
management plans for protection of natural upland and wetland ecosystems
on sites to be developed, participates in workshops to identify
regionally significant natural resources, and attends field trips
to assist in evaluating the quality and importance of natural communities
on properties being considered for public purchase. In addition,
Council continues to provide assistance to local governments in
developing and revising policies to enhance the protection of natural
resources.
