Bog Turtle Conservation Plan Appendices - 2019

This document is for use by state and federal partners to guide their conservation efforts over the next 5-10 years, for the Bog Turtle in the Delaware Recovery Unit. This Action Plan summarizes the most prominent threats and limiting factors, describes the status of the species within this recovery unit, and identifies and prioritizes specific strategies needed for recovery of the species. It also provides an implementation schedule with a timeline for completing these actions. This Recovery Unit Action Plan identifies specific recovery unit priorities and should be used in conjunction with the Conservation Plan (2019), which identifies regional level priorities across all recovery units in the Northern population range (Figure 1). Data resulting from Bog Turtle expert surveys provides the basis for these recommendations. This living document should periodically be re-evaluated and updated.
