(Identify native species)
- Plan
- Reflect on Documentation Stage
- What have you learned about your site?
- How have your perspective and desires changed?

too
- What aspects should be left as-is?
- What aspects invite change?
- Species whose numbers could be increased, decreased, introduced
- Implement
- Designate sequences of actions
- Identify resources needed
- Timeline
- Assess
- Reflective Narrative
- How has your project changed the Ecological Quality of the site?
- Qualitative, rather than quantitative, emphasis
