biodiverCITIES: A Handbook for Municipal Biodiversity Planning and Management

This handbook is an informative and action-oriented resource to motivate change through the development of a Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) using a “Milestone” based framework.  Each Milestone represents a step in the planning and management process, beginning with the creation of a Biodiversity Team in the first Milestone, and culminating with a review and update of the BAP in the final Milestone.  This Handbook also provides case studies and other resources to help communities achieve their biodiversity goals and objectives.
