While a lot of information is available in this CD, ultimate implementation
of natural resource protection efforts is up to you, the local user, because most land use decisions occur locally.
To help you, many resources are available, including everything from maps to enthusiastic ecologists! We hope you
enjoy this Guide and that it helps you in your efforts.
The NRG Brochure is an introductory document to this CD. You can view the brochure by clicking the image to the left.
