National Heritage Areas in the Appalachian LCC
-
The Appalachian LCC region contains many National Heritage Areas (NHA) that reflect the rich natural, cultural, and historic resources within our landscape. In total, 18 designated areas stretching from Alabama to New York tell the stories of individuals, communities, progress, war, and perseverance that highlight the distinct culture, history, and lands of the Appalachians.

Video Presentation: Interactive Conservation Planning & Design
-
This video presentation from Paul Leonard of the Appalachian LCC and Clemson University walks through the development of a regional conservation plan for the Cooperative using an interactive and iterative spatial prioritization framework. Using available data and modeling approaches, researchers from Clemson University developed a suite of conservation planning models that include site selection, ecological threat assessments, and broad ranging habitat and ecological connectivity analyses. The research team worked closely with steering committee-organized technical teams from each major region in our LCC to help guide the iterative feedback loops which informed the conservation design. The research team is now working on the second phase of this conservation planning and design modeling that will integrate aquatic and cultural resource components into the design work.
