September 26th 2017 - Land Between the Lakes
Members of ROHCA met at Land Between the Lakes to visit with Appalachian LCC staff and learn of AppLCC resources that may help guide ROCHA in their conservation planning efforts. Information shared during this meeting will be uploaded to this page.
NatureScape Fact Sheet
General introduction to the Landscape Conservation Design (LCD2) of the Appalachian Region based on the research of Paul Leonard et al., Clemson Unviersity.
AppLCC.Org Web Portal - Conservation Planning Tool
AppLCC's partner-support portal platform to (1) network partners, (2) deliver the scientific information, tools, maps and data, and (3) support broader dissemination via on-line learning courses.

Appalachian Conservation Partners Meeting - Dec 2017
Resources Available to Appalachian Conservation Partners
Introduction to the suite of science information resources (data, maps, decision-support and networking tools) available to enhance the work of the Appalachian Conservation Partner Community.
Appalachian LCC Integrating Cultural Resources Research Webinar
Presentation by Dr. Tim Murtha of Penn State University on a collaborative research project sponsored by the National Park Service and the Appalachian LCC, which seeks to integrate cultural resources, such as historic bridges and Civil War Battlefields, into landscape conservation planning and design to emphasize both natural and cultural resources in defining conservation priorities.
“One Stick at a Time” in pursuit of climate adaptations for a more sustainable future
This film follows land managers in the Methow Valley, Washington for over a year, from forests to rivers, from fires to snowfall, from beaver capture to release as they try to come to grips with the impacts of climate change and the possible adaptation options right in front of them. It is a conversation starter for answering the question "What can I do?" With support from the best climate experts in the Northwest, it is a chance for each of us to think about what our landscapes will be like ten decades from now. It is a nudge to start today to make our surroundings better than they would be if we did nothing. The film was conceived as part of the 10 Decades Project, the goal of which is to inspire thousands of us to take measurable, concrete steps for climate adaptation in every area for which we are responsible.
Esri Web Services and PAD-US
Rich Nauman of Esri presents on how Esri web services have been applied to PAD-US data, creating many options for using PAD-US in web applications and on desktop GIS systems. Approximately 15 minutes.

Videos Around the Basin
A collection of more than 40 videos focusing on the ecology, threats, conservation efforts, and sense of pride in the Tennessee River Basin are now available on the Appalachian LCC Web Portal.
Conserving the Tennessee River Basin: It Takes a Village
Nearly as diverse as the wildlife within the Basin are the people and organizations working to conserve it.
What Are Landscape Conservation Designs (LCDs)?
“Landscape Conservation Designs” or LCDs are one of the unique contributions that LCCs bring to the conservation agenda. They provide the regional conservation perspective to assist local decision-making and collaborative conservation actions. This suite of videos provide a general overview of this emerging aspect of conservation planning and illustrates the iterative nature of conservation planning and design. Both the initial modeling design (LCD1) and the subsequent and more refined LCD2 are presented, which integrates a highly refined aquatic condition scoring system to better evaluate how best to represent a connected system and reflect its current ecological integrity.
What is the Role of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs)?
This video focuses on how LCCs and their ecologically defined boundaries came about and then details four key roles of this science and management regional partnership: addressing large-scale threats by facilitating conservation planning, developing natural resource management tools and information, engaging diverse audiences, and building capacity to leverage and share resources.
