Cacapon and Lost Rivers Land Trust
-
The Cacapon and Lost Rivers Land Trust is the only homegrown organization exclusively dedicated to permanently protecting and preserving land in Cacapon and Lost River Valley. We have worked with our Valley’s landowners, for over 25 years to protect and preserve the natural resources, beauty and uniqueness of our Valley. Our work focuses on protecting only the richest ecological and economically beneficial areas to create a network or natural land hubs and corridors.

Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) are applied science and management partnerships initiated
by the Department of the Interior’s (DOI’s) bureaus and others involved in natural and cultural resource
conservation and management. The Appalachian LCC consists of its Steering Committee members which is the decision‐making and oversight body of the organization, Staff who support of the work of the LCC and various work groups and oversight teams established to address specific topics or issues, often drawn from the partnership‐at‐large.

2013 Science Needs Portfolio
-
A group of over 150 invited researchers and managers representing a diverse cross-section of expertise and affiliations were assembled to identify the science information needs of Appalachia in order to effectively address the conservation challenges and opportunities across the landscape. The resulting comprehensive cataloguing or “Science Needs Portfolio” was developed to serve as a guiding framework, critical to help facilitate and support conservation planning, delivery, and applied research as well as monitoring efforts across the Appalachian LCC. It also compiles recommendations based on on-going or emergent needs and reflects completion of previously funded projects. In February 2013, almost 50 experts from a wide range of technical background in both natural and social sciences, as well as geographic expertise across the entire region, volunteered to participate in the annual review of the Appalachian LCC Science Needs Portfolio. 2013 marked the first revision of the Portfolio.
