A natural area must be protected against encroachments and actions which in themselves or indirectly would modify exiting conditions and influence changes, if such area is to be value for observation and research on forest and plant succession, plant associations, habitat requirement of species, insect and fungus depredations, soil microbiology, phenology and related phenomena. Management must consider all aspects of the biotic complex comprising the natural area. The criteria for management of natural areas are guide lines for protection against encroachments. When in doubt what to do, leave the area alone.
