Draft:Sentinel Landscape

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In the United States of America, a "Sentinel Landscape" is a large (relative to what?) relatively undeveloped land area who's protection is supported by government agencies[1], conservation charities[2][3], and private landowners. It may include military installations, parkland, other government lands, as well as conservancy lands, corporate forests and agriculture land, and private lands.[4] The purpose is ostensibly to promote sustainable land use.

Sentinel landscapes usually include at least one military installation.

U.S. federal agencies involved includes DOD, DOI, USDA, and FEMA.[5] [6]
