Facilitate conservation of large, contiguous tracts of land under multiple ownerships to conserve wildlife and habitat on a landscape scale. • Continue to coordinate placement of dredge materials to benefit beach-nesting birds, foraging shorebirds, and sea turtles. • Increase the number and availability of private contractors available to conduct prescribed burns on private and corporate lands. • Highlight and support opportunities for ongoing land management and restoration efforts on protected lands through coordination, protection, management assistance programs, and stewardship funding. • Provide information and implementation guidance about land management practices that effectively maintain suitable habitat for species. • Assist in the planning, development, and management of greenways . • Promote the use of native plants in landscaping, publicizing native plant nurseries and partnering with UNC Botanical Garden and North Carolina Exotic Pest Plant Council. 6.3.5.1.3 Development Expand technical guidance to promote site design techniques that minimize impacts and maximize benefits to wildlife and habitat (e.g., development, roads, utilities).
