Projects by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:40 PM: There are an amazing number of organizations and individuals working to protect, conserve and enhance our unique landscape within the TRB. The following Projects provide information to better identify the who, what, and where of conservation action. This information will help you to know who has expertise you may tap into, gain knowledge on lessons learned from the field, and in turn enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your actions.

Partner Projects by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: This section provides information on additional energy-related projects being conducted by partners in the region as well as key tools, data, and publications that are helping to minimize or offset impacts from energy development and enhance conservation.

Removal of Two Dams in the Wetmore Run Watershed, Potter County, PA by Tab Manager, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: This project will remove the only two dams in the Wetmore Run Watershed in Potter County, Pennsylvania opening 8.5 miles of habitat for brook trout. Removal of the dams will also eliminate thermal pollution and restore lotic ecosystem function. (Photo: Looking upstream at the dam on Wetmore Run. No water is going over the spillway.)

Raccoon Creek Stream Restoration for Imperiled Aquatic Species in lower Etowah River Drainage by Tab Manager, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: This project restored stream areas of Raccoon Creek for imperiled aquatic species in lower Etowah River drainage, Georgia. This project has resulted in several new partnerships, including a collaborative planning workshop for Paulding County held by SARP and the Southeast Watershed Forum.

Integrating Cultural Resource Preservation at a Landscape Scale by Tab Manager, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: A collaborative research project sponsored by the National Park Service and the Appalachian LCC seeks to integrate cultural resources, such as historic bridges and Civil War Battlefields, into landscape conservation planning and design to emphasize both natural and cultural resources in defining conservation priorities.

Forestlands Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warblers by Tab Manager, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: Combing through habitat literature and conducting two years of surveys for the presence of Golden-winged Warblers at forest stands, the AMJV and partners developed best management practices for providing breeding habitat for Golden-winged Warblers through timber harvesting.

Restoring Coal-Mined Lands to Create Habitat for Imperiled Birds by Tab Manager, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: AMJV and the Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative are partnering up to re-establish habitat on previously mined land to create greater breeding grounds for declining bird species in the Appalachian Region. Using ARRI’s Forestry Reclamation Approach, this collaboration is replanting trees on disturbed sites in heavily populated bird areas to restore the function and form of habitats that existed prior to mining.

Cheoah River Restoration by Tab Manager, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:35 PM: In 2005, an improved flow regime was established in the Cheoah River and other habitat improvements are currently underway as part of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Relicense Agreement. Restoration of multiple species, including Appalachian elktoe, Alasmidonta raveneliana (Fed. & NC Endangered); Spotfin chub, Erimonax monachus (Fed. & NC Threatened); Wavy-rayed lampmussel, Lampsilis fasciola (NC Species of Concern); and Rainbow mussel, Villosa iris (NC Species of Concern), are part of the cooperative restoration plan for the Cheoah River.

Appalachian Energy Forecast Model by admin, last updated: Mar 23, 2021 07:34 PM: This web-based map tool of the energy assessment combines multiple layers of data on energy development trends and important natural resource and ecosystem services, to give a more comprehensive picture of what potential energy development could look like in the Appalachians. The tool shows where energy development is most likely to occur and indicates areas where such development may intersect with other significant values like intact forests, important streams, and vital ecological services such as drinking water supplies.
