What is a
working Landscape?
A working landscape is
an area where people live and work in a way that allows the native
ecosystem to be sustained. Business and social activities are done
in a way that minimizes the disturbance of plants and animals.
A working landscape
is an area where humans work as responsible members of a natural
ecosystem. Ideally, all of the people within a working landscape
are balancing their own needs with the needs of the environment.
Striking that delicate balance is defined as mutual —everyone's
needs are met in a way that will maintain the landscape into the
future.
