Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance of preserving wetlands. States that "for wetlands to be most beneficial, they have to be connected to other habitats so that a variety of creatures can creep, slither, walk, and fly safely from wetlands to neighboring habitats." Also states that "government regulations rarely stipulate that these connections be preserved when permitting a new development. They merely require that the wetland itself be protected." Discusses the value of leaving wetlands connected to uplands. States that "golf course routing plans should leave upland woods next to wetlands or establish corridors of upland preserves that are linked to wetlands. In addition, golf course designers can delineate core habitat areas and small habitat patches throughout a property to minimize habitat fragmentation and maximize the wildlife value of protected natural areas." |
