According to a 2011 survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 62 percent of Vermonters engage in fishing, hunting, or wildlife watching (Vermont Wildlife Action Plan Team, 2015). Wildlife is also central to Vermont\u2019s outdoor-based tourism industry, which accounts for approximately 11.5% of the state\u2019s overall employment (Vermont Forests, Parks & Recreation Department, 2015). \n\nConserving the town\u2019s multi-faceted natural heritage, including animals and plants, will benefit from complementary fine and coarse filter strategies, an approach taken in this inventory. In a coarse filter approach to maintaining the town\u2019s natural heritage, animal and plant species of concern are not protected as individual species. Instead, the habitats and natural communities with which these species are associated are the priorities for conservation. This inventory contains coarse filter elements, including the natural communities and wildlife road crossings presented here as well as the forest blocks, surface waters, and riparian areas shown on other maps. The second complementary approach is a fine-filter strategy. Very rare species, species suffering rapid population decline, and /or other species of high public value may not always be adequately protected by a coarse filter approach. In these instances, by using a fine filter approach, the very rare or otherwise priority species and their specific habitat needs are singly considered and if needed, protected. This inventory also contains fine filter elements, including rare, threatened, and endangered species occurrences; uncommon species occurrences; vernal pools; deer wintering areas; potential mast areas; shrublands; and grasslands.\n\n\nReferences\nSorenson, E and R.
