This project was commissioned by the Lands Management Committee of the BC Conservation Lands Forum. The goal of the project was to provide an easily accessible and searchable bibliopgrahy and database of existing information sources that provide guidance on how to manage for a wide range of environmental values - often these practices are termed 'best management practices'.
Environmental 'best management' practices (BMP) are those designed to guide activities that promote stewardship of the environment. In addition, guidance, standards, approaches, principles may all offer advice to people interested in maintaining ecological values.
The document provides an annotated bibliography and the excel file is a searchable database of best management practices and guidance for those interested in managing land with an emphasis of maintaining or restoring conservation values. The primary intended audience is land managers of private lands managed primarily for conservation (e.g. land trusts and conservancy organizations).
The report was completed by Rachel F. Holt and associates (Veridian Ecological Consulting Ltd.) and was prepared for the BC Conservation Lands Forum: Land Management Committee in December 2009.
