Restoring Wildlife Habitat

PEC works to protect fish and other aquatic creatures from pollution, conserve expanses of connected habitat and keep open the corridors needed by roaming or migrating animals.

Whether you live in urban, suburban or rural areas, you can make a positive impact on surrounding fish and wildlife populations.  Our web resources are intended to give you the tools to manage your Piedmont lands and waters for greater biodiversity, productivity, and environmental quality.

What is Wildlife Habitat?

“Habitat” comes in many forms and sizes, and can range from a small patio container garden to a 1/2-acre pond or a 1000-acre forest. Habitat can be as diverse as the many species of insects, fish, mammals, birds, and plants that inhabit it.
