Oats Run, Upper Shavers Fork, Aquatic Passage Project in Pocahontas County, WV
-
This project will restore habitat linkages between a brook trout spawning tributary in Oats Run and the mainstem of the Upper Shaver's Fork at Spruce West Virginia. (Photo: The fish passage barrier to be replaced on Oats Run in the Upper Shavers Fork in West Virginia.)
-
Dirt & Gravel Road, Streambank Stabilization Project on Cross Fork, Pennsylvania
-
This project will select and implement high priority projects that focus on dirt and gravel road improvements, streambank stabilization, riparian buffer restoration, and brook trout habitat expansion. (Photo: Improper drainage from dirt and gravel roads on Cross Fork, PA.)

Dam Removals to Reconnect Brook Trout Habitat on an Unnamed Tributary to Frankstown Branch, PA
-
This project will remove two fish passage barriers to provide 1.33 miles of unrestricted fish passage to high-quality coldwater spawning and rearing habitat. (Photo: Lower Dam, Frankstown Branch, PA)
-
St. Mary's Liming, St. Mary's River, Virginia
-
The streams of the Saint Mary's Wilderness, located on the slopes of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, have been severely compromised by anthropogenic atmospheric acid deposition. This project will add limestone sand using to the headwater streams of St. Mary's River to enhance over 12 miles of stream for brook trout. (Photo: St. Mary's River, Virginia.)

Document: Process and Decisions for Design on the Connecticut River Pilot Project

Document: Connecticut River Watershed Species Weighting Matrix
-
The following matrix is being used by the Terrestrial and Wetland Subteam in applying the weighting criteria that the Subteam previously discussed and identified for use in assigning weights to Representative Species in the context of informing the process of how to identify core areas based on combining species landscape capability models into an optimized selection index. The matrix entries in this document are DRAFT and need Terrestrial and Wetland Subteam input to assign final entries and decide on final weights. (Note 8.5”x14” page size for printing the matrix) (Revised slightly 8/27/14 to add habitat acreage for several species)

Interior Highland Shortleaf Pine Initiative
-
The Interior Highlands region of Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma once supported vast expanses of shortleaf pine-bluestem woodlands, as well as mixed stands of pine-oak and oak-pine which were maintained by frequent fires. Over the past century 53% of these open pine stands have been significantly altered due to forest structural changes caused by eliminating fire from the ecosystem and conversion to other agricultural uses. This caused a significant decline in several priority bird species including the Brown-headed Nuthatch, Bachman’s Sparrow, Northern Bobwhite, Prairie Warbler, Whip-poor-will and federally endangered Red-Cockaded Woodpecker which all rely on open pine forest stands with a diverse grass and forb understory.

Restoring Coal-Mined Lands to Create Habitat for Imperiled Birds
-
AMJV and the Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative are partnering up to re-establish habitat on previously mined land to create greater breeding grounds for declining bird species in the Appalachian Region. Using ARRI’s Forestry Reclamation Approach, this collaboration is replanting trees on disturbed sites in heavily populated bird areas to restore the function and form of habitats that existed prior to mining.
-
Assessment and Restoration of Southern Appalachian Brook Trout
-
This project will complete an assessment of brook trout in-stream habitat, water quality, and fish distribution information in all Jocassee Gorges streams during the first two years of the project.

Brook Trout Restoration and Expansion
-
This project will restore and improve stream and riparian habitat within a 2,357 foot project area located in the headwaters of Garth Run which was severely impacted by catastrophic flooding that occurred in 1995.
-
Forestlands Best Management Practices for Golden-winged Warblers
-
Combing through habitat literature and conducting two years of surveys for the presence of Golden-winged Warblers at forest stands, the AMJV and partners developed best management practices for providing breeding habitat for Golden-winged Warblers through timber harvesting.
