Your Plan • Develop your own land management plan! Include: • Your goals • Your inventory • Your management objectives
Your Plan • I’d like to put several images of these various plans. I realize they likely won’t look like much, just paper and words, but I’d like to stack them so folks realize there are some options. Do either of you have plan covers you can scan in?
Develop a Plan • I don’t know the plans well enough – but should we recommend one of the plans mentioned on the previous slide and talk about it in more detail? • Or we could have a plan as an example and talk through it to review imporant sections…
