Riparian Restoration Figure 1: Riparian corridor areas in Virginia that are high priority (black = upper quartile of solar gain and less than 70% canopy cover) for riparian restoration to mitigate water temperature increases. Brook trout priority areas are defined by elevation gradients (0-300 m low priority; 300 – 600m average priority; > 600m high priority). Cross hatched polygons represent existing brook trout habitats. Blue and green elevation gradients represent potential cold water brook trout habitat.

Golden-winged Warbler Habitat: Best Management Practices: The goal of this BMP is to present management prescriptions to forest managers interested in providing breeding habitat for Golden-winged Warblers through management actions associated with timber harvesting. We provide a science-based approach in an adaptive management framework to understanding breeding habitat use of Golden-winged Warblers across a range of timber harvest prescriptions in Pennsylvania and Maryland. This document is intended for use by state and private foresters, biologists, and other land managers. We anticipate that this BMP is the first document in a series that will address management of other early successional habitat used by Golden-winged Warblers including old fields, reclaimed strip mines, scrub oak barrens, and aspen cuts.
