The habitat which has always been among the best in the state, we are now told is among the worst because of changing some words in policy?
The PGC is not saying the habitat in Greene Co, is among the worst in the state, they are saying forest health based on regeneration is among the worst in the state and 5C is rated the worst with only 26% regeneration. The PGC only evaluates the condition of the habitat based on the health of the herd in each WMU and in 2009 5 WMUs were above target for herd health and the rest were at their target goal. So after over 80 years of over browsing the habitat is just fine despite all the scare tactics of DCNR.
