What is Wildlife Habitat Planning?
The simple answer is: making wildlife habitat conservation a priority in community planning. Read more in our overview, or explore specific aspects of habitat planning below.
Green Infrastructure: A communities natural life support system.
Rural, Agricultural and Silvicultural Lands — Wildlife as a part of our working landscapes.
Transportation Planning — We can plan and design our transportation infrastructure to minimize these impacts so that wildlife can continue to survive.
Golf Courses — Information on good planning, design and maintenance of wildlife friendly golf courses.
Planning Tools—Planning and land management tools that may be useful to communities and landowners to shape a future landscape that may still support our natural wildlife legacy.
