Habitat Management Guidelines

Habitat alteration, fragmentation and loss collectively are considered to be the primary challenge in the conservation of amphibians and reptiles. PARC has developed a series of regionally specific best management practices, or Habitat Management Guidelines (HMGs), to provide proactive guidance for improving the compatibility of land management practices with these animals. Use this link to obtain information on ordering hard copies of the regional habitat management guidelines.

Water for Wildlife

Tanks, troughs and ponds serve as a critical resource for a broad array of wildlife, including amphibians and reptiles. This handbook describes proven methods for increasing wildlife safety and accessibility at artificial watering features.
