Management Practices Priority

Although protected by law in North Carolina, feral horse herds should be restricted from some areas where they currently roam free. Such restriction would be particularly beneficial at Shackleford Banks and Currituck National Wildlife Refuge (Porter et al. 2014). Use exclosures to fence off portions of barrier islands where feral horses still occur, allowing recovery of maritime grassland communities.
