From Cone's Folly to Brosnan Forest and beyond: protecting red-cockaded woodpeckers on private lands
Policies to conserve endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) on private lands have evolved substantially over the last decade. To succeed, such policies must be responsive to the economic and regulatory realities faced by landowners. Landowner objectives vary…
