A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
Every time we go to build a new building, the process always includes the consideration for the preservation of wildlife habitats. Preservation of wildlife habitat is rooted deep in the culture of planning at UMass Amherst. The UMass Amherst Extension Citizen Planner Program offers resources for developing bi-laws in local governments for wildlife habitat protection (see link below).
