  • Natural Areas
    Natural Areas Natural Areas are defined as land and water units where natural conditions are maintained. They may be designated areas of Federal government, non- federal government, or private land. Designation may be provided under Federal regulations, by foundations or conservation organizations, or by private landowners that specify it as such (GM 190. Part 410.23). What is it? Designation may be formal, as provided under Federal regulations, or by foundations or conservation organizations specifically created to acquire and maintain natural areas. Designation may be informal in the case of private landowners that specify an area as a natural area and manage it accordingly. Why is it important? It is the policy of the NRCS to support the designation of appropriate natural areas and to recognize dedicated natural areas as a land use.
