We will be discussing the basic steps for conservation planning on your property, no matter what the size of it is. Whether you have a large piece of property or a small piece of property, some of that planning is similar to landscape planning, instead of just planning for beauty, for our own enjoyment, we'll be incorporating things that will be attractive to native species and how we can prevent the spread of Invasives.
