Enhancement Project (GL005675-01-0: $25,000) |
| Recipient: Charter Township of Springfield |
| Project Period: 10/1/99 to 9/30/01 |

This is a habitat project in Springfield Township, Michigan.
Springfield Township will work in five areas: 1) develop education
materials about the project and the benefits of using native vegetation,
and provide a system for information dissemination to developers,
builders, landscape designers, suppliers and homeowners; 2) analyze
existing Township standards and ordinances for possible conflicts with
native vegetation enhancement goals; 3) develop proposed revisions to
standards and ordinances that encourage integration of native vegetation
into design and development practices, such as stormwater management; 4)
develop proposed guidelines for the protection and re-use of existing
native vegetation on sites being developed; and 5) develop a database of
native plants appropriate for use in the Township and identify sources for
these plants. |
