A well-prepared Open Space and Recreation Plan combines natural resources information with local values and vision to produce a document that benefits a community’s residents, its wildlife, and the resources upon which they both depend. Planning for Wildlife helps make this happen. Planning for Wildlife provides a comprehensive review of strengths and weaknesses contained in Open Space and Recreation Plans, identifies sources of local information on wildlife and their habitats, and provides specific recommendations on increasing the effectiveness of Plans for conserving wildlife and their habitats. Applicable to every city and town in Massachusetts, Planning for Wildlife is intended for use by Open Space and Recreation Committees, in conjunction with the Division of Conservation Services’ Open Space and Recreation Plan Requirements and the Open Space Planner’s Workbook.
