Photo: Camp Blanding staff install and maintain artificial nest cavity boxes used by the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Proactive management of this species has allowed for the installation’s woodpecker population to exceed its federally mandated recovery goal, a fact cited by state and federal regulators when coming to the table during the inception of the CCAA.
