1.4.3 Public Review

Addendum 2 to the 2015 Wildlife Action Plan (WAP, Plan) was available to the public for download and review from April 20 to May 20, 2022. Addendum 2 proposes to add plants to the Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) list and add a new description for Piedmont and Coastal Plain Oak Forest natural community. The download contained PDF files (most content) and Excel files (some appendixes) available on the NCWRC public website for the Wildlife Action Plan (www.ncwildlife.org/plan). An electronic comment form was provided as part of the public review information on the website. The online comment form required name, email address, and whether the respondent supports, does not support, or has no preference for adding plant SGCN to the Plan. Two questions allowed for optional responses to explain why they do or do not support the addendum and any additional comments about their response. Comments were submitted by 168 individuals and overwhelmingly indicate support for adding plants to the SGCN list. Based on responses, 95.83% of the respondents support the addition of plants to the SGCN list, while 2.38% do not support the change and 1.79% have no preference. Several people added comments questioning why plants were not previously included as SGCN
