Hello,
Our project contains vegetated areas which are located in staggered locations within the LEED boundary. Some are long narrow strips that hug the perimeter boundary, others are small island areas located between parking bays, meanwhile there is a large green area adjacent to the building.
When totaled these areas meet the required credit area and can contain vegetation to support the credit intent.
Given the staggered vegetated nature of the site - does it sound like it meets the credit intent? Or does it require large mono-contiguous areas?

Well, corridors for wildlife can be a valuable thing.
In this case, it sounds like you're stretching the bounds of what could reasonably be considered habitat, however. I might consult with a biologist who could tell you if you're meeting the intent.
