Bulletin #27: How to Manage Community Natural Areas

Contact with Parks and Communities

One of the best sources for help with managing natural areas in urban settings is to contact those cities with many years of experience that make this a priority service for their residents. There are many, but some good examples would include:

• Bellevue Washington Parks and Recreation Department

  Resource Management and Natural Resources
• New York City Department of Parks & Recreation
• City of Chicago
• City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services
• For more, search online for “urban wilderness.”
