2025 NC Wildlife Action Plan

Management:

 Implement acoustic detectors during winter, avoiding early spring, to maximize number of squirrel recordings over other mammal sounds. Social & Cultural:  The habitat that CNFS occupy is at risk for future developments.

Adaptive Decision for 2023

Management or Methodological Changes:  Work towards creating an automated process for finding flying squirrels within recordings to streamline the process.  Gain management experience from the spruce-fir working group and add restoration plans to our land management plan.  Obtain an updated ESA permit. Social & Cultural Changes:  Maintain ESA compliance and advise on projects that occur at high elevations in vital CNFS habitat. Partners: North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS)
