Wake Nature Preserves Partnership Presentation to the Municipal Park Directors Of Wake County 2008 October 2

Who are we? NC Museum of Natural Sciences NC Natural Heritage Program NC State University NC Wildlife Resources Commission Triangle Land Conservancy Wake Audubon Wake County Environmental Services Wake County Parks, Recreation, & Open Space

Our Mission The mission of the Wake County Nature Preserves Partnership is to organize and provide resources to identify ecologically valuable, protected open spaces within Wake County and to build capacity for appropriate, long-term stewardship of those areas.

Why are we doing this? “Dependent groups” and other users of natural areas in parks and open spaces would like them protected. County and municipalities have invested in these natural areas, but funding for stewardship is limited. We’d like to help leverage the substantial, untapped resources we have in this region.

Our aim: best practice conservation management Natural resources inventories Management plans Active stewardship

Other Places Doing This Charlotte / Mecklenberg, NC Chicago Wilderness Consortium, IL Cleveland Metro Parks, OH East Bay Regional Parks, Oakland, CA Fairfax County Parks, VA Marin County Parks, CA

What are we doing now? Developing criteria for classifying natural areas. Piloting our ideas by partnering with Wake County. Planning database for all Wake County open space. Developing service-learning connections with NCSU. Seeking additional partners and volunteers.
