Stitching Together Work of LCCs across the Southeast
Through SECAS, diverse partners are working together to design and achieve a connected network of landscapes and seascapes that supports thriving fish and wildlife populations and improved quality of life for people.
The Appalachian LCC is one of six LCCs in the southeast that are stitching together their conservation designs at a larger scale, to help coordinate the efforts of federal, state, non-profit, and private organizations to prioritize conservation action and investment. Staff from the Appalachian LCC have been engaged in this effort by presenting conservation planning efforts during the SECAS Symposium at the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies Conference, developing a Story Map that highlights many of the projects developing critical data and tools that build a strong foundation for the SECAS vision, and helping to coordinate SECAS activities throughout 2016.
