The SNRAMP guides natural resource protection, habitat restoration, trail and access improvements, other capital projects, and maintenance over the next 20 years.
The SNRAMP delineates Natural Areas into management area categories and proscribes both general management activities that apply to all Natural Areas and activities specific to each Natural Area. Habitat restoration at Sharp Park for special status species is included in the SNRAMP [RANGE]. 

Notice is hereby given to the general public as follows:
