High, <br />medium and low quality natural communities are identified <br />within each management unit, and MCBS natural <br />communities and rare species sites are highlighted. A <br />technical appendix provides more detail about native plant <br />communities, quality and rarity rankings, techniques for <br />restoration and management, and land use <br />planning/protection tools. <br />The report is a comprehensive guide to the natural <br />communities of Cottage Grove, and does an especially nice <br />job of describing their location, quality, and management. <br />The goal of the inventory was to protect and enhance the <br />health of natural areas. It gives some fairly detailed species <br />lists for each of the natural communities inventoried, and <br />assigns a local value, based on the city's comprehensive plan, <br />the ability to link other features in the landscape, etc. <br />Beth Nixon, SEH, Inc., (651) <br />490 -2054 <br />Kim Lindquist, City of <br />Cottage Grove, (651) 458- <br />2800; Tony DeMars, <br />Emmons & Olivier <br />Resources, (651) 770 -8448 <br />o <br />P. <br />E <br />co <br />Cottage Grove, MN <br />City of Burnsville Natural Resources Management <br />Plan. 1998.
