EASTERN HELLBENDER

Eastern Hellbender (WLFW Target Species)

The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is working to address recovery of the hellbender in three states: North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Priority watersheds have been identified in a 35-county range of the Upper Cumberland, the Lower Tennessee system, and the western watersheds of North Carolina. These priority counties are home to some of the last known existing hellbender populations in these systems.
