How to Manage Community Natural Areas

Tree City USA Bulletin No. 27

"Wooded areas in and around our communities can prevent soil erosion, cleanse the air, buffer noise, counter the heat absorbing effects of buildings and pavement and offer the kind of recreational opportunities that new industries and savvy home buyers look for in selecting a new location. They can also provide a home for wildlife and be a lifesaver for migrating birds.

This issue helps you determine where your community´s natural areas are, shows you how to conduct an inventory of the area, and lists six basic management needs to maintain these nature areas." [website]
