The Next 9 Years • Environmentally Critical Areas – 38% of steep slopes – 51% of wetlands • Future Roles – Plant Ecologists – Natural Area Crew – Forest Stewards – Contractors

The Next 9 Years • Overall scale • Youth engagement and leadership • Demographic data collection

Beyond • Different body of work • Needs funding • How do we treat these restored, healthy Natural Areas as an asset?
