Cultural Resources Fellowship by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Feb 03, 2018 12:15 AM: Our Fellows serve as part of the professional staff of the Appalachian LCC. Given the breadth of the Cooperative membership (both the diversity of conservation practitioners' expertise and regional knowledge) the Fellow will work across many facets of applied conservation and natural resource management. The Nature and Society Fellow is based at Pennsylvania State University, Hamer Center for Community Design, under the direction of Dr. Timothy Murtha.

Ecosystem Services Benefits and Risks by Web Editor, last updated: Feb 03, 2018 12:12 AM: Given the rapid environmental change experienced and expected across the Appalachians, it will be crucial to understand the vulnerabilities of valued ecosystem services to drivers of large-scale change that may threaten their sustainability.

Tennessee River Basin Conservation Action Map by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Feb 02, 2018 07:22 PM: The Network is now identifying data resources and other information derived from these activities and, when possible, providing access to these resources via the Conservation Action Map and Network portal. Members will continue to be able to enter additional projects to the Conservation Map and tag new resources produced from their efforts.

Conservation Strategy for the Upper Tennessee River Basin by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Feb 02, 2018 07:14 PM: he U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with assistance and guidance from the U.S. Geological Survey, states, and other partners, has developed a cost-effective conservation strategy for 36 imperiled freshwater fish and mussel species in the 22,360 square-mile Upper Tennessee River Basin. The strategy identifies aquatic species conservation objectives and recommends a management approach for conserving and recovering prioritized species and locations across the basin. It is designed to help the Service better integrate its efforts internally and with those of partners in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, whose missions complement the goal of maximizing conservation and recovery of imperiled aquatic species and the ecosystems upon which they depend.

Across the Tennessee River Basin: TRB Network by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Feb 02, 2018 07:06 PM: Across the Tennessee River Basin is a collaboration within the Appalachian LCC bringing together multiple agencies and stakeholders in a joint effort to plan and deliver landscape conservation actions to protect one of the most diverse areas for aquatic species in North America.

Landscape Dynamics Assessment Tool (LanDAT) by Web Editor, last updated: Feb 02, 2018 04:01 PM: The Landscape Dynamics Assessment Tool (LanDAT) helps resource managers monitor broad patterns of vegetation change in order to understand dynamic landscapes and their capacity to provide ecological services and benefits.

Fact Sheet: Assessing Future Energy Development Managers Guide by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Feb 01, 2018 11:27 PM: Provides a general overview of the need for the Energy Assessment research, the major products and findings that came out of the project, and the relevance of the study, models, and tools to the resource management community.

Assessing Future Energy Development across the Appalachian LCC. Final Report by Judy K. Dunscomb, Jeffrey S. Evans, Jacqueline M. Strager, Michael P. Strager and Joseph M. Kiesecker, last updated: Feb 01, 2018 11:02 PM: In this study funded by the Appalachian LCC, The Nature Conservancy assessed current and future energy development across the entire region. The research combined multiple layers of data on energy development trends and important natural resource and ecosystem services to give a comprehensive picture of what future energy development could look like in the Appalachians. It also shows where likely energy development areas will intersect with other significant values like intact forests, important streams, and vital ecological services such as drinking water supplies.
