Goals for Stakeholder Engagement in Focal Landscape: The Appalachian LCC is engaging in an integrated, multi-scale conservation planning and design initiative throughout its geography. Phase I of this research identified five different conservation design elements. The largest element is made up of regionally connected cores. These cores are broad areas of regional significance (i.e., irreplaceability) that have high internal landscape connectivity. The LCC has strategically decided to target two of these core areas as part of its ongoing effort in Phase II of this process to reach out and collaborate with local partners working in these cores. These two areas include the Tennessee River Basin and western Pennsylvania.
