USDA Launches New Bobwhite Conservation Pilot and Announces General Conservation Reserve Program Signup by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Mar 02, 2024 03:51 PM: The opportunity we have been waiting for to stop the national decline of bobwhite quail. Using brand new science tools, WLFW will help landowners manage and connect grassland and savanna habitat in the Central and Eastern US. Together we can improve habitats, measure our progress, and reestablish this iconic rural species to our landscapes!

Riparian Restoration to Promote Climate Change Resilience Research Update by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Feb 23, 2024 02:50 PM: This video presentation by Jason Coombs of the U.S. Forest Services provides an overview to an innovative riparian planting and restoration decision support tool. The tool, which is funded by the Appalachian LCC, allows managers and decision-makers to rapidly identify and prioritize areas along the banks of rivers, streams, and lakes for restoration, making these ecosystems more resilient to disturbance and future changes in climate. The tool works by identifying vulnerable stream and riverbanks that lack tree cover and shade in coldwater stream habitats. By locating the best spots to plant trees in riparian zones, resource managers can provide shade that limits the amount of solar radiation heating the water and reduces the impacts from climate change.

Riparian Restoration to Promote Climate Change Resilience Tool by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Feb 23, 2024 02:48 PM: An innovative riparian planting and restoration decision support tool, funded by the Appalachian LCC, is now available to the conservation community. This user-friendly tool allows managers and decision-makers to rapidly identify and prioritize areas along the banks of rivers, streams, and lakes for restoration, making these ecosystems more resilient to disturbance and future changes in climate. It will also help the conservation community invest limited conservation dollars wisely, helping to deliver sustainable resources.

How to use the Riparian Restoration to Promote Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) Tool by Carol Sanders-Reed, last updated: Feb 23, 2024 02:44 PM: The following tutorial will describe the steps to depict the riparian areas that would benefit most from riparian restoration. The RPCCR tool enables users to dynamically locate areas (within the selected riparian zone region) that would benefit from increased shading produced by planting of trees. The tool operates on a 200 meter stream buffer (100 on each side), and requires the user to specify values for maximum percent canopy cover and minimum solar gain percentile. The user can additionally choose to include minimum elevation (meters) and maximum percent impervious surface values in the analysis.

Eastern Deciduous Forest Health by Tab Manager, last updated: Feb 14, 2024 06:58 PM: Forest management affects wildlife habitat by altering the structure and composition of vegetation communities. Every wildlife species uses a specific set of resources associated with different species and ages of forest trees (e.g., nesting cavities, den sites, acorn crops, fruit resources) to survive and reproduce. Forest managers, wildlife conservation groups, policy makers, and other stakeholders often need to review the literature on forest bird-vegetation relationships to inform decisions on natural resource management or ecosystem restoration.

Wildland Fire by Tab Manager, last updated: Feb 14, 2024 06:57 PM: The Wildland Fire site within the Landscape Partnership portal serves as a clearinghouse to support technical experts as a community of practice, currently focused on the southern states. This site links individuals and diverse groups with the information each maintains on wildland fire on their respective internet sites, and our hope is that we will send more traffic to our partners' sites.
