Partners In Flight Habitat Assessment
Conservation Strategy    

Within the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, lands owned or controlled by government agencies and organizations within the Partners-in-Flight program are highly fragmented and represent several thousand habitat patches. Moving this patchwork of lands forward to achieve regional conservation goals will require orchestration of management activities on a large scale. In 2000, a habitat assessment project was initiated to catalog and evaluate lands within the PIF collective. Digital orthophotograghy was used to evaluate

more than 900 properties controlled by PIF partners. Habitat and partner-specific data will be used to customize action plans. The application of regional habitat assessments to conservation plans serves to clarify conservation priorities and links land managers to specific habitat targets.
