Conserving Wooded Areas in Developing Communities
Technology Transfer Publication
"This best management practices (BMPs) guidebook for conserving wooded areas in developing communities of Minnesota was developed by an advisory committee composed of a wide representation of stakeholders from public, private, and nonprofit organizations.
"The goals of these BMPs are: to provide communities with a better understanding and appreciation of economic, social, and environmental benefits of wooded areas and individual trees,
to provide decision makers, city planners, landowners, developers, and citizens with land-use approaches to conserve the ecological integrity and functions of wooded areas, including wildlife habitat and corridors throughout the landscape,
to help builders, utility companies, contractors, machine operators, and crews minimize impacts of construction on wooded areas and trees, and
to provide citizens with a better place to live and work."
