Changing Roles »

This module explains land-use decision-making tools, the role of natural
resource professionals
in the local decision-making and land-use planning processes, and how
resource professionals can be useful in these community decisions. At neighborhood,
community, and county or parish levels, natural resource agencies have
a great deal to
offer to planners and local leaders. The 7 fact sheets, 9 exercises, and
6 presentations
provide background and suggest strategies for how resource professionals
can become
more involved in the decision-making process as the landscape changes.
It is important
when presenting these materials to adapt them to state-specific planning
legislation and
agency-specific guidelines.
