The partnership has executed a program of aggressive habitat management, cavity-tree management and woodpecker population monitoring and management that has resulted in a quadrupling of the breeding population since the early 2000s. During the 2019 breeding season, Piney Grove Preserve supported 15 potential breeding groups (including …
