Site Conservation Plan Components

Cover Page                                              Download a printable version of this page (PDF) »

A site conservation plan is a professional document, and thus, should be presented in a professional manner. A descriptive, clean and eye-catching cover page is an important part of this presentation. The cover page should include several components:

           • a clear and descriptive title of the plan
           • a list of parties involved in the preparation of the document
           • the dates in which the plan was prepared
           • information regarding any funding source for the project

A photo or map of a highlighted land feature or species in the plan could also make a good addition. For example, the cover page below shows a photo of the Dwarf Lake Iris and a map of the Niagara Escarpment – both major features of the Red Banks-Gilson Creek plan.
