Mile-a-minute (Persicaria perfoliata) by Sarah Moss, last updated: Apr 06, 2021 01:15 PM: Mile-a-minute (Persicaria perfoliata) is a trailing vine with barbed stems and triangular leaves. In contrast to other invasive vines, mile-a-minute is an herbaceous annual, meaning it dies each fall and new plants grow from germinating seeds in the spring. Each vine can grow 20 to 30 feet long, forming a dense, tangled blanket of intertwined vines. In the peak growing season, mile-a-minute can put on up to 6 inches of growth a day. Its leaves are distinctly triangular or arrowhead-shaped, 1 to 3 inches wide, vibrant green, and bear many hooked barbs along the underside of the central vein and leaf stem. The dense foliage of this invasive weed blankets and slowly suffocates native vegetation, making it extremely destructive and persistent despite being an annual plant.

Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) by Sarah Moss, last updated: Apr 06, 2021 01:15 PM: Japanese stiltgrass is an annual grass, found in a range of habitats, from wetlands to early successional fields and forested uplands. Japanese stiltgrass alters light and moisture regimes and likely affects seed germination. The most effective control method is to prevent its spread into natural plant communities by avoiding disturbance to the vegetation and soils of these areas.

Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture Showcase by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Apr 05, 2021 06:57 PM: The Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture (AMJV) is one of 18 habitat Joint Venture partnerships in the United States. It is comprised of state and federal government agencies, non-governmental organizations, universities, and industries that work together to prioritize and coordinate conservation activities while building upon scientific knowledge. The AMJV seeks to coordinate with and assist partners in prioritizing which species and habitats to focus on for conservation, where their on-the-ground projects will have the highest return on investments, and how much habitat is needed to sustain populations of priority species.

Information Materials by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Apr 05, 2021 03:05 PM: public)- this is where we can point other professionals and landowners Fact Sheets Priority Areas – need brief narrative on how the priority areas/focus areas were identified nationally and post maps Staff & Landowner Events – need brief narrative on the on-going technology transfer effort via series of workshops, outreach events, etc. (upcoming workshop dates on portal Calendar) NRCS Conservation Practices & Materials Conservation Practices Job Sheets Screening & Ranking Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Guide (WHEG) Other Guidance (Jess-I’d rather keep it simple and just give the list of Practices from the 2 proposals plus any additions since – do we really need this posted here by state since the states can add practices at will? Let Rose know! We need to post these other materials so all the field staff can access – they won’t have private access.) How to sign up!
