Actually, I'm thinking more in terms of private lands. Places around the edges of fields, the areas underneath high tension towers, etc. that aren't "in production" but are privately owned and often subject to "indiscriminate" destruction. Highway medians, retention ponds, and drainage ditches all could be handled in a way to encourage more "natural" or "local" habitat instead of just planting grass or non-native plants.
