State Wildlife Grants Program

Each year Congress must determine how much funding to make available to North Carolina for the implementation of the NC Wildlife Action Plan. This means that every year your support is needed to encourage Congress to make funds available for this program, the nation's core program for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered!

Join the NC Teaming with Wildlife Coalition and add your voice to the call for essential public funding to implement high priority conservation actions.

Crossing Structures for Carolina Northern Flying Squirrels

In the Unicoi Mountains of Graham County, endangered northern flying squirrels are not able to glide across the width of the Cherohala Skyway.

In an effort to solve the problem, biologists have posted utility poles as artificial crossing structures at key locations to help narrow the gap.

North Carolina Bats

Bats belong to a diverse group of mammals that play an important role in nature. They eat insects, which controls agricultural pests, and other insects such as mosquitoes. A nursing female bat may consume almost her entire body weight in insects in one night. Some bat populations have been declining all over the United States. Pesticides, persecution and human disturbance of hibernacula and maternity colonies may have contributed to the decline of bat populations. To determine bat distribution and hibernation sites in North Carolina, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission conducts monitoring studies and provides artificial rooting structures in various areas across the state.
