Managing Invasive Species in Wetland Restoration Projects: The Association of State Wetland Managers (ASWM) is pleased to invite you to attend the next webinar in our popular Improving Wetland Restoration Success webinar series on “Managing Invasive Species in Wetland Restoration Projects.”

TRBN Science and Communications Teams Kick-Off Meetings: Assistant Coordinator Dr. Mary Davis represented the Appalachian LCC at two meetings that followed up on the Tennessee River Biodiversity Network (TRBN) workshop held in August 2015.

NEAFWA Workshop: Applying Information and Tools from LCCs in the Northeast: On April 3, 2016, the Appalachian LCC and the North Atlantic LCC partnered to deliver a hands-on workshop for applying information and tools developed by LCCs in the northeast region.

Mountain Streams Offer Climate Refuge: A new study offers hope for cold-water species in the face of climate change. The study, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, addresses a longstanding paradox between predictions of widespread extinctions of cold-water species and a general lack of evidence for those extinctions despite decades of recent climate change.

Removal of Illegally Introduced and Missed Rainbow Trout from Lynn Camp Prong, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee: This project will remove the illegally introduced and missed rainbow trout from the Lynn Camp Prong Watershed in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Once complete, the project will reconnect brook trout populations in three tributary streams thus eliminating fragmentation in this watershed.

Conservation Planning Map: Map showing regional cores, linkages, and other elements from the conservation design research.

Awareness and Outreach: The information and tools from this research is intended to inform planning decisions that can effectively avoid, minimize, or offset impacts from energy development to important natural areas.

Initial Consultations: Check out recorded videos, PowerPoint presentations, and notes from previous phase 1 consultations with technical experts across the Appalachians to refine the Appalachian LCC conservation design.

March 17 Consultation Presentation Slides: Presentation slides from Dr. Paul Leonard about Appalachian LCC Conservation Design Phase 1 Research and Products.

Summary of Call Notes and Recommendations: From March 10 Consultation and Presentation.

March 10 Consultation Presentation Slides: Presentation slides from Dr. Paul Leonard about Appalachian LCC Conservation Design Phase 1 Research and Products.

Perkins, Jessica: Geospatial data management and analysis for the Wildlife Resources Section: Game Management, Fisheries, Environmental Coordination, Wildlife Diversity and Natural Heritage.

Landscape Conservation Design: Initial Products and Expert Consultations for the Appalachian Mountains and Western River Basins: Over the last couple years, the Appalachian LCC has supported the development of a science-based, regional-scale design commonly called a “Landscape Conservation Design (LCD)” or “Conservation Blueprint”.
