Pockets and groves of trees provide an ideal habitat for many species of butterflies. Maintaining butterfly habitats allows for pollination and establishment of wildflowers each growing season.
- Native bird species also have an established niche in the local environment; proper forest management supports a sustainable, thriving habitat.
- There is a dwindling population of flying squirrels who dwell in our native Carolinian groves. The northern flying squirrel is currently on the endangered animal's list, while the southern flying squirrel is under special concern.
