Thomas Minney: The Nature Conservancy: Thomas Minney discusses the potential of the Appalachian LCC, how this organization can address large-scale issues like climate change, and the need to achieve common conservation goals.

Kimberly Terrell: Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute: Kimberly Terrell describes her work studying the biological constraints of salamanders to adjust to climate change and how the regional nature of the LCC can ensure efficiencies for conservation efforts as well as bring managers and researchers together to work towards common conservation goals.

Mark Ford: Virginia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Mark Ford, Unit Leader of the Virginia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, discusses his research on threatened, rare, and endangered species, how the LCC can link up various expertise around the region, and the types of science needs the Cooperative can address that will result in on-the-ground conservation.

Mark Hudy: U.S. Geological Survey: Mark Hudy, Senior Science Advisor in Fisheries for the U.S. Geological Survey, highlights the importance of connecting scientific efforts across the region and what the Appalachian LCC can achieve by bringing together various organizations and expertise

Nels Johnson: The Nature Conservancy - Pennsylvania: Nels Johnson discusses how LCCs are important vehicles for increasing efficiencies in conservation, and through collective capacity how LCCs can address environmental challenges that are beyond the ability of any one organization.

Jim Schaberl: Shenandoah National Park: Jim Schaberl talks about specific research projects taking place in Shenandoah, what he hopes the LCC can accomplish, and why the National Park service is involved in this endeavor

Todd Jones-Farrand: Central Hardwoods Joint Venture: Science Coordinator Todd Jones-Farrand highlights how Joint Ventures and LCCs can work together in a complimentary fashion and how both partnerships share a collaborative nature that will benefit landscape-scale conservation.

Scott Smith: Maryland Department of Natural Resources: Wildlife Ecologist Scott Smith talks about the vital importance of the Appalachians for the survival of salamanders, how the LCCs can facilitate issues between jurisdictions, and help different agencies prioritize conservation efforts.

Scott Robinson: Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership: Coordinator Scott Robinson addresses the obstacles of data collection, preparation, and development and how the LCCs can help standardized this process for all partners to use that will help professionals implement conservation actions.

Peet, Robert: Vegetation, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Floristics, Ecoinformatics

Priority Southeast U.S. Counties for Prescribed Burning Emphasis: This project was funded by NRCS and completed by NCSU in partnership with the Longleaf Alliance and Longleaf Implementation Teams (LIT) under America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative (ALRI). A set of counties within each of the 9 southern states in the longleaf pine range were identified by LIT staff as priority areas for implementation of prescribed burning efforts including executing on-the-ground burns, burn training workshops, establishment of Prescribed Burn Associations, and other activities where focused efforts can advance habitat management goals, improve forest health and mitigate wildfire risk.

Thornton, Addie: Addie Thornton, Project Manager of the Southeast Regional Partnership for Planning and Sustainability (SERPPAS).

Doerr, Maria: Maria supports strategic coalition building within the Landscape Partnership

Tree map: Program catalogs every grove in the U.S. forest: Karin Riley, a fire researcher at the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, helped develop Tree Map, a computer program that catalogs data for wooded areas across the Continental United States. The program allows researchers and fire crews to study and react to fire patterns for better mitigation and suppression.
