Red Cockaded Woodpecker Translocation

The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is a federally-listed endangered species endemic to open, mature and old growth pine ecosystems in the Southeast. RCW translocations can expedite the expansion of small, at-risk populations (<30 groups) that ultimately serve to accelerate overall species recovery. This 2-year pilot project will hire 2-3 additional translocation biologists to monitor and identify surplus RCWs for translocation efforts.
