Page 36 of the Ref Guide, section 4, states that monoculture plantings (such as turf) cannot contibute to the credit requirements. I could interpret this 2 ways:
a. landscapes that use on only plant type (such as turf) for the entire project cannot be counted, or
b. in a mixed plant environment, we must exclude the turf portions from the calculations
THE QUESTION: So when adapted turf is part of a multiple plant project, can the turf area be counted ?

Stephen, counting turf towards habitat is always prohibited, whether there are other plants kicking around or not.
