Washtenaw County Natural Areas Preservation Program (NAPP)

Natural Areas Ordinance No. 128 established a citizens group to advise the Parks & Recreation Commission. That group, the Natural Areas Technical Advisory Committee (NATAC), is comprised of County residents with expertise in land trust/conservation, wildlife management, environmental education, real estate/development, land use planning, botany/forestry and fisheries/aquatic ecology. Members were appointed to NATAC in the summer of 2001 and have been meeting regularly since September of that year.

NATAC has adopted the following major objectives:

• Recommend properties for acquisition
• Provide technical information relevant to management and long-term protection of potential acquisitions
• Suggest opportunities to collaborate with local, state and federal government agencies and non-government organizations, as appropriate
