Operational Plan by Jean Brennan, last updated: Aug 21, 2015 04:02 PM: The Appalachian LCC Operational Plan provides an overview on the conservation challenges in the Appalachian region, identifies the members of the conservation science and management communities, and presents the Science Needs and specific conservation targets and goals to meet landscape conservation objectives as identified in the Steering Committee's 5-Year Work Plan.

Steering Committee by Web Editor, last updated: Aug 21, 2015 02:52 PM: The Appalachian LCC Steering Committee provides operational oversight for major programmatic, policy, and funding decisions.

Conservation Priorities Science Needs Workshop by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Aug 21, 2015 01:37 PM: The Conservation Priorities Science Needs Workshop took place on November 29-30, 2011 in Blacksburg, VA. A group of over 150 invited researchers and managers representing a diverse cross-section of expertise and affiliations were assembled to identify the science information needs of Appalachia in order to effectively address the conservation challenges and opportunities across the landscape. The resulting “Portfolio” of science needs will serve as a critical guiding framework to help facilitate and support conservation planning, delivery, and applied research and monitoring efforts across the Appalachian LCC.

2012 Science Needs Portfolio by Jean Brennan, last updated: Aug 21, 2015 01:37 PM: Folder with the WORD files for review by the COPs in FY13 Review/Resive/Re-Rank effort update Portfolio and prepare recommendations for the Steering Committee to consider in allocating FY13 Project Funds.

2013 Science Needs Portfolio by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Aug 21, 2015 01:36 PM: A group of over 150 invited researchers and managers representing a diverse cross-section of expertise and affiliations were assembled to identify the science information needs of Appalachia in order to effectively address the conservation challenges and opportunities across the landscape. The resulting comprehensive cataloguing or “Science Needs Portfolio” was developed to serve as a guiding framework, critical to help facilitate and support conservation planning, delivery, and applied research as well as monitoring efforts across the Appalachian LCC. It also compiles recommendations based on on-going or emergent needs and reflects completion of previously funded projects. In February 2013, almost 50 experts from a wide range of technical background in both natural and social sciences, as well as geographic expertise across the entire region, volunteered to participate in the annual review of the Appalachian LCC Science Needs Portfolio. 2013 marked the first revision of the Portfolio.

Forest importance to water supply by Caroline Dougherty, last updated: Aug 14, 2015 01:42 PM: The US Forest Service’s Forests to Faucets Project represents one approach to ecosystem service assessment. Watersheds are ranked in terms of both forest cover and the estimated number of people who rely on them for drinking water. This highlights the water filtration services that forests provide in different landscapes.
