The Cheat Mountain Salamander has been listed by the USFWS as threatened throughout its range since 1989. This small woodland salamander makes its home in mixed spruce/hardwood forest. Improving the size and connectivity of the red spruce forest on the refuge property will help long-term management and protection of the species.<br><p><br></p>
