Management Actions. Choose from the following management actions that will be undertaken to accomplish the expected net conservation benefit to the RCW. Please choose one or more of the following options for each management action listed below. YES, I agree NO, I do not agree to conduct prescribed fires on a regular or recurring basis within areas of the enrolled property that are occupied RCW habitat. These areas will be maintained or enhanced by prescribed fire. This will provide an immediate net conservation benefit. YES, I agree NO, I do not agree to conduct prescribed fires on a regular or recurring basis within areas of the enrolled property that are potentially suitable nesting or foraging habitat. The use of prescribed fire will restore or enhance the areas as RCW habitat. This will provide an immediate net conservation benefit. YES, I agree NO, I do not agree to conduct prescribed fires on a regular or recurring basis within areas of the enrolled property that are currently unsuitable habitat, but, in this situation, I also agree to conduct the prescribed fires for a period sufficient for the habitat to either become occupied by RCWs or to become potentially suitable nesting or foraging habitat. The net conservation benefit will not be achieved until the areas where prescribed fires were conducted either become occupied by RCWs or become potentially suitable nesting or foraging habitat. This also means I may have to implement other conservation measures, such as a forest management strategy that could benefit RCWs, in order for a net conservation benefit to be achieved.
