2 <br /> - Eastern Box Turtle(Dry-Wet Mixed Hardwood-Pine Forests) <br /> - Bobcat(Sparsely Settled Mixed Habitats) <br /> - Four Toed Salamander(Wet-mesic Hardwood Forests) <br /> This effort generated enhanced mapping layers that represented the habitat areas for each animal <br /> and its associated guild, and these layers were combined with land use layers to create a habitat- <br /> corridor analysis. These results and associated recommendations were presented at the 2019 <br /> Environmental Summit at the N.C. Botanical Gardens, held by the Commission for the Environment <br /> (CFE).The CFE also requested an additional presentation and opportunity for in-depth discussion of <br /> recommendations,which was conducted at their March 2020 meeting.The materials and data can <br /> be viewed and downloaded directly from the Eno New Hope Landscape Conservation Groups <br /> website (https://connectedconservationnc.org/). <br /> N <br /> 0 2.5 5 10 <br /> 4— - M i les <br /> ;tl <br /> h <br /> 07. <br /> M � <br /> yy / <br /> }4M1 <br /> rF 6 4 <br /> nt a <br /> Habitat-Corridor Network 1� <br /> _H igherst Cvnnecwvity Val— <br /> _Higher Connectivity Value • V <br /> A <br /> High Connectivity Value 1 <br /> r P <br /> Local or alternative network <br /> Unranked <br /> Not oonnec[ed <br /> Project Wee - <br /> county <br /> - River <br /> Lake <br /> Major Road -. <br /> Figure 12(a).Results of GIS-based corridor analysis for the EnoNewHape project area,shown here as the priority., <br /> habitat-corridor networkfor the three habitat guilds,combined with a semi-transparent overlay.Each guild's <br /> network is divided into 4 classes based on natural breaks in the connectivio} importance values(EBC)_Connectivity <br /> importance value for each patch in a guild represents the maximum of the habitat-only and species observation <br /> network EBC values.
