Stevia is a very sweet herb that is used by many as a zero-calorie sugar substitute. Rebaudioside A (purified from Stevia rebaudiana) is âgenerally recognized as safeâ (GRAS) as a sweetening agent for foods by the US Food and Drug Administration, but no studies have been done on pregnant or breastfeeding women.

The term 'Best Management Practices', or BMPs, was coined nearly 35 years ago as a way to describe acceptable practices that could be implemented to protect water quality and promote soil conservation during forestry activities. A BMP can be a structural thing that you actually install on-the-ground. Examples may include runoff diversions, silt fence, stream buffers and groundcover vegetation over bare soil areas. A BMP can also be part of the process that you use to plan, conduct and close-out your forestry operation.
