Natural Resources Planning
Natural Resources Planning within Land Use Planning focuses on managing and utilizing natural resources—like water, minerals, forests, and wildlife—sustainably. It ensures that these resources are used in a way that meets today's needs without compromising future generations. This involves balancing conservation with development, assessing environmental impacts, and considering community needs. The aim is to create land use strategies that promote ecological health, economic viability, and social equity, ensuring that our communities thrive while protecting the natural environment we depend on.
