Woodland Conservation Plan
Planning for Woodland Conservation
A municipal woodland conservation program begins with the master planning process. This in turn leads to a set of land development regulations that address woodland conservation in a fair, predictable, objective way. Public involvement both in the development of a master plan and land development regulations is absolutely essential. Residents, including homeowners, farmers, and even builders, all have a stake in every planning decision a municipality makes. All should have a say in the planning process.
