This project aims to restore longleaf pine ecosystem habitats in Southeastern Sentinel Landscapes to benefit at-risk species, improve ecosystem resilience, and decrease wildfire risk to surrounding communities and military installations. Proposed activities include prescribed burns, wetland restoration, pollinator habitat improvement, and surveys to assess and remediate barriers to aquatic connectivity.

America the Beautiful grant funds require cost share and match. Your donations would help NC with their portion of this match to perform valuable conservation work for at-risk species in an effort to avoid federal listing later.

Prescribed Fires

Encourage production of native grasses and herbaceous vegetation that wildlife use as cover and food sources.
