Subteam Meeting Notes 06-23-2014
Discussed the process for incorporating under-represented species into the landscape design process, value of incorporating indices of projected changes to climate niche suitability into final habitat models for representative species, value of incorporating indices of projected direct anthropogenic landscape change (e.g., urban/suburban expansion) into final habitat models for representative species, criteria for weighting among species in the final selection index for the landscape design.
Revised criteria for prioritizing species (06-27-2014)
Criteria for Prioritizing Habitat for Representative Wildlife Species in Conservation Design for the Connecticut River Watershed. Updated from the 05-30-2014 version.

Aquatic System Intactness (aka stressor) and Resiliency Metrics. Used in the index of ecological integrity portion of the Landscape Change, Assessment, and Design (LCAD) model (1 page).
Aquatic Ecological Macrogroups (06-27-2014)
Aquatic ecological macrogroups used in the Connecticut River Landscape Conservation Design project. Summary statistics for each group, and a weighting multiplier affecting conservation priorities (2 pages).

National LCC Brochure
This brochure describes how LCCs are bringing partners together to identify conservation solutions. Building on knowledge and conservation work of existing partnerships, LCCs increase collective science and management capacity to address common conservation priorities. LCCs rely on the expertise and work of Federal, State and Tribal partners and existing conservation partnerships. Working at local, regional, national and even international scales allows partners to work toward sustaining natural and cultural resources for current and future generations.

Appalachian LCC Data Needs Assessment Final Report
This project was undertaken to evaluate existing datasets for the Appalachian LCC region, package relevant datasets, review of some of the most commonly used conservation planning tools, provide interpretive text and graphics for datasets and tools, and identify data gaps that could improve conservation planning in the Appalachian LCC. Additionally, we reviewed and analyzed State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAP) from 15 states that intersect with the LCC, and corresponded with the SWAP coordinators to get their input on summaries and information on the upcoming 2015 revisions.
Appalachain Landscape Conservation Cooperative GIS Datasets
The Appalachain Landscape Conservation Cooperative Datasets are located in a folder named “AppLCC_USGS_ConicEA_Projection” and each theme has its own folder. Most folders have a layer file for displaying the raster datasets, however if there is more than one raster in the folder, it may be necessary to point the layer to the desired raster each time it is loaded. Also there are a few layer files and one geodataset (NWI) that will only work in ArcGIS 10.x. The layer file with the same name as the raster dataset should work in both ArcGIS 9.x and 10.x. In each case we attempted to download the latest (Spring 2013) revision of the dataset that completely covered the Appalachain LCC.

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.
