Purpose
Natural Resources of the region provide a foundation of goods and services that support the other areas. The NW RSDP supports projects that align with these aspirations:
- A healthy functioning landscape provides clean water, rich soils and diverse habitats.
- There is widespread awareness of the natural resources and amenities in the region, and the landscape services they provide.
- Regional residents are aware of their personal resource consumption and recognize that natural amenities support quality of life.
- Regional land and water stewardship practices support a healthy economy and landscape for the long term.
