Penn State Extension will host a live webinar on June 11 on Conserving Natural Landscapes In Development from Noon to 1:00 p.m.
The webinar will provide an introduction to issues surrounding conservation in land development. It will also cover the USDA Forest Service Changing Landscape Factsheets, which will help people become more familiar with the role of land use planning and regulatory policy in conserving forests, woodlands, and other natural landscapes.
Forested and other natural areas continue to be under pressure from land conversion and development. An important question is whether these landscapes are adequately considered when planning for subdivision and other land development.
The USDA Forest Service Changing Landscape Factsheets will help people become more familiar with the role of land use planning and regulatory policy in conserving forests, woodlands, and other natural landscapes.
The Factsheets discuss what environmental planning is, policies that direct it, and regulatory and non-regulatory tools used to implement and conduct it.
Topics including the history of American planning, protecting water quality, developing effective local policy, and regulatory tools will help people be more confident and informed to help ensure that natural landscapes, and their many ecosystem services, are conserved in land development.
