Description
Regional efforts to restore the species have been underway since 2008. Since then the number of occupied habitat patches has continued to decline due mostly to habitat succession and development pressure. Management efforts to date include creation of early successional habitat captive breeding and reintroduction and land conservation. These efforts have been confounded by the presence of eastern cottontails which in many instances pioneer new habitat patches more readily than new england cottontail. The purpose of this project is to conduct a population viability analysis of new england cottontail. To assist state managers in their determination of where restoration efforts are most appropriate and which management actions will be most beneficial. Abundance estimates will be developed through collaboration between the state agencies the university of new hampshire and the university of connecticut during the first three years of the project and the decision support tool will be developed by researchers at south dakota state university in conjunction with state agency staff in the third through fifth year. Expected outcomes will include a range wide abundance estimate and a user friendly decision support tool. The intended beneficiaries are state wildlife agency managers. Subrecipient wildlife management institute will handle overall project coordination.
