What is a Natural Features Inventory?
A Natural Features Inventory documents the preservation or conservation features on the site. Broadly speaking, preservation features are significant ecological resources which must be preserved in their natural state. If a site has conservation features, on the other hand, limited development might be possible subject to strict standards to ensure the conservation of the resource.
