Natural Resources Inventory and Mapping
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Study and prepare an overview of the general health of natural resources and natural systems within the City's municipal boundary and the immediately adjacent areas. Study topics shall include health of forests, meadows, wetlands, streams and waterways; review of the biodiversity of these natural systems; and an existing species list, including Federal and State species of concern. The study should also identify critical habitat, wildlife movement corridors, and areas of existing and potential conflict between wildlife and people (vehicles, pets, etc.). The final study should include professional recommendations, based on "best practices" that can be incorporated into the policies and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan to protect, preserve, and enhance these resources.
