30 Summary Delineate natural areas on your site by how those areas can be managed as well as by habitat types. Monitor flora and fauna on your site periodically. What is monitored and how often will be specific to each site. Annual monitoring is useful but may not be necessary. Consider how your site fits into the big picture. Rank natural areas based on environmental, business stakeholder needs or requirements. Reassess your site periodically to detect landscape or habitat changes due to development, habitat enhancement or natural succession. Seek out partnerships. 30 and
