Col. Michael Scalise, deputy commander, Marine Corps Installations East and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, and N.C. Representative Walter Jones Jr. plant long leaf pine seedlings to expand the habitat of the Red Cockaded Woodpecker at the Stone Creek Game Land in Jacksonville, N.C., April 30, 2018. Red Cockaded Woodpeckers, which favor the long-leaf pine, have thrived and grown in population from 32 to 123 clusters aboard Camp Lejeune since the base's RCW Recovery and Sustainment Program was established in 1986.
The expansion of their habitat provides flexibility for Marines to train while meeting their conservation goals. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Evan Falls)
