Improved grassland
a) If close to unimproved grassland:1. convert to unimproved grassland; or2. keep as improved grass to provide for
stock on unimproved grass.b) If close to deciduous woodland:1. convert to woodland; or2. convert to scrub.c) If close to scrub:1. convert to scrub; or2. convert to unimproved grassland or
woodland.
