LEGEND

Beginning with Habitat (BwH) is a voluntary tool intended to assist landowners, resourcemanagers, planners, and municipalities in identifying and making informed decisionsabout areas of potential natural resource concern. This data includes the best availableinformation provided through BwH’s coalition partners as of the map date, and is intendedfor information purposes only. It should not be interpreted as a comprehensive analysis ofplant and animal occurrences or other local resources, but rather as an initial screen toflag areas where agency consultation may be appropriate. Habitat data sets are updatedcontinuously as more accurate and current data becomes available. However, as manyareas have not been completely surveyed, features may be present that are not yetmapped, and the boundaries of some depicted features may need to be revised. Localknowledge is critical in providing accurate data. If errors are noted in the current depictionof resources, please contact our office. Some habitat features depicted on this map areregulated by the State of Maine through the Maine Endangered Species Act (EssentialHabitats and threatened and endangered species occurrences) and Natural ResourcesProtection Act (Significant Wildlife Habitat). We recommend consultation with MDIFWRegional Biologists or MNAP Ecologists if activities are proposed within resource areasdepicted on this map. Consultation early in the planning process usually helps to resolveregulatory concerns and minimize agency review time. For MDIFW and MNAP contactinformation, visit http://www.beginningwithhabitat.org/contacts/index.html.

Rare or Exemplary Plants and Natural Communities

Known rare, threatened, or endangered plant occurrences are based on field observations.Consult with a Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP) Ecologist to determine conservationneeds of particular species. For more information regarding rare plants, the complete list oftracked species and fact sheets for those species can be found at: http://www.maine.gov/doc/nrimc/mnap/features/plantlist.htm

Rare Plant Locations

The MNAP has classified and distinguished 98 different natural community types thatcollectively cover the state’s landscape. These include such habitats as floodplain forests,coastal bogs, alpine summits, and many others. Each type is assigned a rarity rank of 1 (rare)through 5 (common). Mapped rare natural communities or ecosystems, or exemplaryexamples of common natural communities or ecosystems, are based on field surveys andaerial photo interpretation. Consult with an MNAP Ecologist to determine conservation needsof particular communities or ecosystems.

Rare or Exemplary Natural Community Locations

Essential Wildlife Habitats

Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife (MDIFW, www.state.me.us/ifw) maps areascurrently or historically providing habitat essential to the conservation of endangered orthreatened species as directed by the Maine Endangered Species Act (12 MRSA, Chapter925, Subchapter 3, Sections 12804 and 12806) and regulations (MDIFW Rules, Chapter8.05). Identification of Essential Habitat areas is based on species observations andconfirmed habitat use. If a project occurs partly or wholly within an Essential Habitat, it mustbe evaluated by MDIFW before state and/or municipal permits can be approved or projectactivities can take place.

Significant Wildlife Habitats

A pool depression used for breeding by amphibians and other indicator species and thatportion of the critical terrestrial habitat within 250 ft of the spring or fall high water mark. Avernal pool must have the following characteristics: natural origin, nonpermanent hydroperiod,lack permanently flowing inlet or outlet, and lack predatory fish.

Significant Vernal Pools

Breeding, migrating/staging, or wintering areas for coastal waterfowl or breeding, feeding,loafing, migrating, or roosting areas for coastal wading birds. Tidal Waterfowl/Wading Birdhabitats include aquatic beds, eelgrass, emergent wetlands, mudflats, seaweed communities,and reefs.

Tidal Waterfowl / Wading Bird

Coastal staging areas that provide feeding habitat like tidal mud flats or roosting habitat likegravel bars or sand spits for migrating shorebirds

An island, ledge, or portion thereof in tidal waters with documented, nesting seabirds orsuitable nesting habitat for endangered seabirds.

Forested area possibly used by deer for shelter during periods of deep snow and coldtemperatures. Assessing the current value of a deer wintering area requires on-siteinvestigation and verification by IF&W staff. Locations depicted should be considered asapproximate only.

Maine's Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA, 1988) is administered by the MaineDepartment of Environmental Protection (MDEP; http://www.maine.gov/dep/blwq/docstand/nrpapage.htm) and is intended to prevent further degradation and loss of natural resourcesin the state, including the above Significant Wildlife Habitats that have been mapped byMDIFW. MDEP has regulatory authority over most Significant Wildlife Habitat types. Theregional MDEP office should be consulted when considering a project in these areas.

Rare, Threatened, or Endangered Wildlife

Consult with an MDIFW regional biologist to determine the relative importance andconservation needs of the specific location and supporting habitat. For more informationregarding individual species visit our website, http://www.maine.gov/ifw/wildlife/species/endangered_species/state_list.htm, for species specific fact sheets.

The Federal Endangered Species Act requires actions authorized, funded, or carried outby federal agancies be reviewed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. If your project occursnear an occurrence of the Atlantic Salmon, Roseate Tern, Piping Plover, Canada Lynx, NewEngland Cottontail, Fubish's Lousewort, or Small-whorled Pagonia contact the Maine FieldOffice, USFWS, 1168 Main St., Old Town, ME 04468.
