Land Use Guidelines Working Group Plans

A goal of this group is to better link the land use planning and the herpetology communities by providing useful information for both. Our initial projects include generating a list of biodiversity conservation and planning literature (see our products webpage), develop a contact list of people who can answer questions regarding local regulations, and identify existing Best Management Practices that may have disadvantages for herps (e.g., stormwater practices).
