The Eastern Massasauga
Rattlesnake Recovery Team is producing a document that provides
technical guidelines in identifying eastern massasauga rattlesnake
habitat. The team hopes the guidelines will help people determine
whether significant portions of snake habitat exist in an area being
considered for development. Ideally, the document will promote sound
planning and management in these areas. The guidelines represent the
most up-to-date resource management information available, and are
intended for use by ecologists, biologists, planners and others involved
in the identification of the significant portions of the habitat of this
species. It will also aid the recovery of the species by focussing
efforts on the most |
