The Woodland Health Practices Handbook is designed as a practitioner's guide for creating, enhancing, and maintaining natural areas. Its focus is helping landowners and natural resource managers assess woodland health, developing land care practices, and communicating those recommendations with clients. Topics covered include tree planting, invasive species control, native meadow establishment, riparian buffer planting and management, chosen tree management, pruning, trail design, and creating a land care plan. Land care plan templates are provided, as are example plans with various scenarios. The Woodland Health Practices Handbook was authored by extension educators and natural resource specialists from the University of Maryland, Pennsylvania State University, Virginia Extension, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and Virginia Department of Forestry.
