Project Scope of Work - Data Needs and GIS
We propose to review conservation planning tools, data needs, and integrative processes for the Appalachian LCC and provide packages of available data, as well as interpretive text. We will review ISC conservation planning goals and based on those, prioritize and justify gaps that need to be filled (e.g., through RFAs). We will apply conservation planning tools, using available data, to the AppLCC area and provide data products that result from those applications.
