Priority Conservation Action, Examples of Focal Species or Focal Habitats
• Work with partners including the NC Prescribed Fire Council, the Fire Learning Network, and NC Forest Service to reinstate and increase prescribed burning.
• Support efforts to create wildlife passages along highways and protect undeveloped connections. These provide safer movement between oak-hickory habitats fragmented by highways. Protecting the connections will preserve cover and food resources provided by these habitats.
• Identify and protect strategically important areas, especially in areas that harbor populations of SGCN.
