Conservation Programs And Partnerships Priority
Make attempts to provide large core areas of forest and to connect isolated patches of forests. Cooper (2000) recommends that core areas be at least 16,000 acres in size to produce viable populations of forest-interior birds, like Scarlet Tanager. Large core areas will be important for reptiles like Eastern Box Turtle and Timber Rattlesnake, which suffer high mortality when crossing roads.
