Description of the Book:

By Greg Zell. The Natural Heritage Resource Inventory (NHRI), which was conducted between 2005 and 2008, provides Arlington County with natural resources data so it can systematically define and address issues relating to the protection and management of natural resources within the County. This Natural Resources Management Plan (NRMP), which resulted from the NHRI and was called for in the 2005 Public Spaces Master Plan, defines natural resource problems and recommends policies and actions to preserve Arlington’s documented natural resources for future generations. In offering a strategic approach, this Plan views natural resource management through both broad and narrow lenses. This layered strategy, in addition to offering new concepts, identifies areas for agency cooperation, reduces redundancies and leverages current efforts. Most importantly, this approach emphasizes the importance of managing natural resources as a unified system rather than a set of unrelated natural features. There are 19 primary recommendations, with additional suggestions offered throughout the body of the Plan.

Discussion and recommendations focus on natural lands management; urban forest management; native vegetation; invasive plant species; geological resources; wildlife resources; park management and planning issues; land acquisition and conservation easements; cooperative management opportunities; partnership development and natural resource education. A number of appendices at the end of the Plan provide supporting information and maps. It’s important to note that the timing of implementation strategies for the 19 primary recommendations will be subject to the availability of resources, including funding
