  1. NC Sandhills Conservation Partnership Ten years of collaborative conservation

  2. NC Sandhills Conservation Partnership • The mission of the NCSCP is to coordinate the development and implementation of conservation strategies for the red-cockaded woodpecker,other native biota, longleaf pine, and other ecosystems in the Sandhills of North Carolina.

  3. Reserve Design Working Group Synthesize biological information and create a vision to guide long-term conservation of native Sandhills ecosystems. • Identify the most important areas to conserve from a biological perspective. • Identify buffers to adequately conserve the resources and ecological processes of protected areas. • Identify connections between important areas that promote gene flow and wildlife movement. • Provide this information to other working groups for implementation.

  4. Reserve Design: Current and Potential Uses • Green Growth Toolbox Implementation • Analysis of Conservation Efforts • Land Acquisition Planning/Priority-setting • Restoration Planning/Priority-setting • Targeting Private Landowners & Private Lands Incentive Programs • Implementing CCA and CCAA for Federal and State at-risk species

  5. Reserve Design Data Layers • Tier 1 Resources– Sensitive Wildlife and Natural Resource Areas • Tend to be smaller in size – e.g. rare species habitat areas • In general, more detailed knowledge about resources • Tier 2 Resources– Wildlife Habitat Landscapes • Tend to be larger in size – e.g. wildlife corridors, habitat management areas • In general, less detailed knowledge about resources

  6. Uneven-Aged Longleaf Stand With Diverse Ground Cover

  7. Vernal Pools/Seeps

  8. Blackwater Rivers and Streams

  9. Streamhead Communities

  10. Species Data

  11. Potential Targets for CCA/CCAAs
