create a large natural corridor with minimal fragmentation. This diversity of habitats in a <br />relatively contiguous pattern will provide a unique opportunity for wildlife habitat. <br />PI2OPGdSBBTRC,.~"YSTEM ~~ 'E r ,, .y w: 't ~~u~ ;r ~ha'-~ ~,~rl~ t„ ' ~ ,: <br />,. ., ._ ... ,. .... _..v ~u3,,,P ., ~raf,w~i z,. : n , . ~.~ -~~ ..~. . ,~.~ Y. „~,..~.e~,,, ~ ,s ,.. ~..4~s ~~ <br />An extensive trail system is proposed for the area. This trail is depicted on the site <br />drawing labeled Preliminary Grading Plan. Depending upon where the trail is located, it <br />will be a combination of bituminous and wood chip. The proposed system is intended to <br />allow access throughout the development, to parkland, and to the previously mentioned <br />natural areas. <br />Further, it is proposed that interpretive and educational kiosks be erected within the <br />natural areas. The information presented will discuss the ecology of the areas and their <br />significance. These will also be used to inform the public about the potential habitat for <br />Blanding's turtles and measures that can be taken to protect the turtles and their habitat. <br />At the kiosks, benches and/or gazebos will be constructed periodically for the users of the <br />resource. <br />The trail will be constructed to the southwest comer of the property so that it could be <br />connected with a future local or regional trail system, thereby allowing the public access <br />to this system and the amenities preserved and restored in the area. <br />8 <br />
