New River Gorge NR contains stable, healthy, globally significant populations of Allegheny woodrats, which is a species of special concern in WV and is in decline throughout the rest of its range in the eastern U.S. The woodrat population in and around NERI may represent the core population for this species in the eastern U.S. Therefore, due to this species' decline throughout the eastern U.S., the woodrat populations at New River Gorge are critical from a conservation perspective.
