Map: CT River Watershed - IEI and Resiliency
DRAFT Maps for illustrative purposes only. Side by side maps of the entire Connecticut River Watershed. The Index of Ecological Integrity (UMass) and Resilient Sites for Terrestrial Conservation (The Nature Conservancy) are shown. These are two of the spatial datasets to be incorporated into the overall selection index for the conservation design.

Document: Representative species being modeled in CT River Watershed
At 2011 workshops in each of the three sub-regions, Service scientists and other experts selected a total of 87 terrestrial and wetland representative species. This table lists the representative species that occur in the Connecticut River Watershed for which habitat models are being developed through the Designing Sustainable Landscapes project, including the 13 species that are due to be completed first. The table includes associated habitats and examples of the species they are intended to represent.

Glade Plant Species of Conservation Concern
Regional Glade Conservation Assessment. Appendix 5, Glade Plant Species of Conservation Concern.
Central Hardwoods Joint Venture Glade Conservation Assessment For the Interior Highlands and Interior Low Plateaus Of the Central Hardwoods Region
The glade conservation assessment is a collaborative effort among 8 states to document the current status and distribution of 24 distinct glade ecosystems and their associated species of conservation concern within the Central Hardwoods Bird Conservation Region, as well as the Ouachita Mountains to the south.
