Wildlife
RTP offers amazing opportunities for wildlife. Hundreds of acres have been set
aside as natural area preserve to ensure “green” or “open” spaces
throughout the park. With a
few easy steps these already green spaces can be altered to provide
habitat to hundreds of native species. Our hope is that as we perform
habitat enhancements, we will not only be providing educational and
recreational opportunities to the employees of RTP, but also, increasing
species biodiversity, abundance, and the number of naturally functioning
ecosystems, connecting habitat patches to avoid species isolation, and
decreasing edge effect near developed areas. Through the guidance of the North
Carolina Wildlife Federation’s Wildlife And Industry Together (W.A.I.T.)
program, Environment@RTP will work to achieve these goals for Research
Triangle Foundation’s (RTF) undeveloped lands.
We encourage other companies, both within
and outside of RTP to join us in providing habitat forNorth Carolina ’s wildlife. |
