Abstract:

Approximately half of the public hunting land in North Carolina is located in Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests in western NC. However, since the 1990’s, there has been a drastic decline in animal species in this area, leading hunters and fishermen to voice their conservation concerns with the U.S. Forest Service. The Brushy Ridge project has allowed for conversations to be held between several stakeholder groups to determine the best conservation strategies to repair the damage to these national forests
