Conservation subcommittee stalls on forest-block prioritization; data challenges cited
Summary
The NRO subcommittee has not met since early December; members said Arrowwood data does not yield an obvious prioritization for stepping-stone forest blocks and Jens Hilke has provided assistance. Sabina Ernst will report back after the subcommittee reconvenes.
Sabina Ernst reported that the Natural Resource Overlay (NRO) subcommittee has not met since early December and that identifying priority forest blocks and connectivity corridors has been challenging. The minutes state Arrowwood data "has not provided an easy road map" to prioritize corridors as primary, secondary or tertiary ecological priorities.
The commission said the lack of clear criteria complicates drafting updated NRO regulations to send to the planning commission. Jens Hilke met with the group to assist and Sabina will bring updates to the full commission after the subcommittee meets again. No schedule was set at the meeting.
