This project identified existing areas in the state, spread out to provide source areas across the state. Nehantic state forest proposed as first area. Devil's Den and Canaan Mtn other identified areas. 20-25,000 acres a year in CT being protected through this program. Would like to see link between this group and BioDiversity group.
Education can play an important role here.
Perhaps work through NDDB to further recommendations about how to manage species once we know they're there, and also provide adjacent landowner information. 6-8,000 landowners reached a year through the cooperative extension system. JB to coordinate. Emphasis should not be just on species. Need list of ideas.
