Wildland Urban Interface Project: Integrating Natural Resource Guidance to Enhance Smart Growth in Wildland-Urban Interface Communities - Final Report

This report summarizes a project completed in Minnesota that "developed and applied methods for integrating natural resource guidance to local communities and landowners in the WUI at the three interrelated scales where development is having the greatest impact on natural resources--the landscape, subdivision, and landowner/site scales.  Emphasis was placed on issues related to habitat/woodland preservation and management as well as wildfire mitigation.  Other natural resource issues which the project aimed to integrate included collaborative resource management, forest management of small ownerships, ecological restoration, water quality, forest health, greenways/connectivety, and smart growth concepts and practices." A guidebook called "Beyond the Suburbs: A Landowner's Guide to Conservation Management" was developed for "smaller scale rural/wildland-urban interface landowners (typically owning 5-20 acres)."
