Priority will be given to songbirds and other non-game wildlife. Thirteen projects will benefit songbirds, woodcock, amphibians, and raccoons. These areas will benefit from fencing to exclude livestock, streambank stabilization, and tree and shrub planting to shade the waters and provide food and shelter for the target species.

Forest Wildlife Sixty-two projects will benefit neotropical songbirds, grouse, squirrel, and turkey. Nesting sites will be created for cavity nesting species of birds. Forest openings will be created and food plots will be established as recommended by a wildlife biologist. Stream Fishery Three projects are planned for the improvement of trout habitat in streams which once had native populations of trout. Bat Habitat Two projects are planned with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to install gates at the entrance to bat maternity caves to protect the Virginia Big Eared Bat and the Indiana Bat populations from being disturbed while rearing their young.
