This resource, when fully developed by the end of 1976, will contain information on representative and undisturbed plant communities, habitats for rare, threatened and endangered species, and outstanding natural features. This information will be utilized by the counties and state and federal agencies in land use planning and planning to preserve the important elements of our natural heritage.

This will be an effective way for individuals to influence the political decision-making processes concerning natural land preservation. Ideas and volunteered assistance are welcome.
