Guide to Significant Wildlife Habitat - Door County Web Map

CONSERVATION GOALS:
• Maintain and enhance connectivity between remnant tracts of pine forest.
• Protect the natural features and characteristics of this mature forest of pines.
THREATS:
• The most immediate threat to Delwiche Pinery is the possibility that a portion of the older growth
pine woods, would be included in the expansion of State Hwy 57.
• Agricultural practices lack stream buffers to protect water quality within Fabry Creek.
• Fabry Creek receives considerable amounts of nutrients, sediments, and bacteria according to water
samples. Portions of the creek have been ditched, pastured, or have feed lots next to the creek
(Sweeney et al. 1996).
INFORMATION NEEDS / GAPS:
• Plant and animal inventories have not been completed and are needed to determine if threatened or
endangered species are in the area of this site.
• Fish and invertebrate inventories in Fabry Creek
