No Regrets Working Group Guidance
At the April meeting of the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative, the Steering Committee tasked a work group to advance the identification of previously assessed high value conservation areas (HVCA) for which there may be a general consensus about their significance and relevance inside the LCC geography. This contributes to the effort of the LCC by identifying areas that can be promoted as needing special attention and consideration by managers (and others) in advance of more systematic modeling or LCC-sponsored analyses or structured decision-making and prioritization in the future.

WNC Vitality Index
The Western North Carolina Vitality Index reports on the 27 counties of Western North Carolina through the perspectives of the region’s natural, social, built, and economic environments. Designed to assist local governments, interest groups, and the public in furtherance of the Mountain Resources Commission’s overall mission to take care of our natural resources to enhance and sustain quality of life and ensure the long-term health of our region and our people.

Fact Sheet: Riparian Restoration Decision Support Tool
An innovative web-based tool - funded by the Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) and developed by researchers from the U.S. Forest Service and the University of Massachusetts - is allowing managers to rapidly identify high-priority riparian targets for restoration to make more resilient in preparation for changes in future climate. The Riparian Restoration Prioritization to Promote Climate Change Resilience (RPCCR) tool identifies vulnerable stream and riverbanks that lack tree cover and shade in coldwater stream habitats. By locating the best spots to plant trees in riparian zones, resource managers can provide shade that limits the amount of solar radiation heating the water and reduces the impacts from climate change. This well-established management strategy will benefit high-elevation, cold-water aquatic communities.
Appalachian LCC 2013 Annual Report
As an integral part of the National Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) Network, the Appalachian LCC is transforming the landscape conservation vision into action. The Appalachian LCC has taken great strides this year in serving as the catalyst for a collaborative network, assembling foundational data and information; providing decision support tools and products; supporting outreach, capacity, and enhancing the visibility of conservation actors; and staying relevant and evaluating progress. This report highlights these key achievements taking place across the broader Appalachian region and National LCC Network.

Document: Species of Greatest Conservation Need for CT River Watershed States
Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut: The Northeast state wildlife agencies have identified the following species as being regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need. The species on this list occur in at least one of the four states of the Connecticut River Watershed but not all have necessarily been confirmed within the watershed itself.
