Elk Management
Provide support for multiple stakeholders across a range of activities including, but not limited to:
Elk Management - Stevens Creek Habitat Workday
Focus: We will focus the workday on managing open areas by removing tulip poplar saplings to encourage a wider variety of plant species and improve foraging habitat for elk and other wildlife.
Location: Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy’s Stevens Creek property is situated on the Eastern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near the Cataloochee Valley. The Steven’s Creek property serves as an important wildlife corridor for the movement of numerous species headed north and south between Cataloochee and I-40, as well as important habitat for the growing elk population.
