‘Green Infrastructure Network’
means a strategically planned and managed network
of wilderness,
parks, greenways, conservation easements, and working lands with
conservation value that
benefits wildlife and people, supports native species, maintains
natural ecological
processes, sustains air and water resources, links urban settings to rural
ones, and
contributes to the health and quality of life for the communities and citizens
sharing this network.
The network should encompasses a wide range of elements,
including: natural areas
- such as wetlands, woodlands, waterways, and wildlife habitat;
public and private
conservation lands - such as nature preserves, wildlife corridors,
greenways, and parks; and
public and private working lands of conservation value - such
as forests, farms,
and ranches. It should also incorporate outdoor recreation and trail
networks.
