| | Title | Technical Assistance to Fish and Wildlife Service - Delmarva Fox Squirrel Habitat |
| | Conservation Plan - Cherry Keller |
| | Project Description | In 1999, the Association of Forest Industries, Inc. (AFI) approached the U.S.Fish and Wildlife |
| | Service (FWS) for an Incidental Take Permit for Delmarva fox squirrels under Section 10 of the |
| | Endangered Species Act. Consequently, AFI is responsible for writing a Habitat Conservation Plan |
| | (HCP). AFI requested FWS assistance in writing the HCP. Dr. Bocetti was asked by AFI and |
| | FWS to serve on the Technical Workgroup to draft the HCP due to her expertise in endangered |
| | species research. Her primary role is to address the research component of the HCP, and to |
| | insure that the entire HCP is based on sound science. Dr. Bocetti also attended the Advisory |
| | Committee meetings to represent the Technical Workgroup. The scope of the HCP is the entire |
| | Maryland portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. |
