A
comprehensive general reference for promoting the protection
and restoration of wetlands by local governments, private
citizens, conservation organizations, and landowners. With
the increasingly critical need for innovative approaches
that accommodate both wetland protection and economic growth,
it provides concrete information on local wetland resources,
how to set wetland protection policies, new techniques that
have come to the forefront since the first edition, and
incentive programs that fairly and effectively involve private
landowners. Provides all of the necessary tools needed to
foster action where it is most effective, the local level.
Written with the view that wetlands are an integral part
of a local community's heritage, the goal of this new edition
is to provide detailed information on a wide variety of
techniques available to those dedicated to improving wetland
protection on the local level.
