MUST-READ LIST for this WG before April 23rd!
To give you the best opportunity of coming to the workshop prepared to actively participate in the discussions, we've prepared the attached list of "must-reads" - although one alternative is a short video.
West Virginia Ecological Services Plan
With the mission of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in mind the Service’s West Virginia Field Office (WVFO), Elkins, West Virginia, has developed a multi-year comprehensive strategic priority plan for West Virginia to be utilized in conjunction with the Service’s Washington and Region 5 offices’ guiding parameters articulated under the Vision, Conservation Principles and Priorities below. The WVFO has incorporated these parameters into our strategic priority plan, weaving our activities not only into these national and regional parameters but also into the Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) framework.
Virginia Ecological Services Plan
The 2010-2014 Strategic Plan's purpose is to work as one group, crossing and blurring program boundaries, to determine statewide resource priorities and a strategic approach to addressing these priorities in our daily actions, resulting in a more focused effort on specific Service priorities that will offer the largest conservation benefit.
Maryland SHC Plan
The Chesapeake Bay Field Office is actively involved in conservation and restoration activities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed with most of these activities occurring in Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. However, our close proximity to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program involves us taking a lead role in dealing with watershed wide issues. We have been actively engaged in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program since its inception in 1983. Over the years we have provided leadership on fish passage, oysters, stream restoration, toxics, invasive species, wetlands, and SAV. Most recently, we are providing leadership on the Habitat Goal Implementation Team, and have provided substantial input to develop a renewed federal strategy for restoring the Chesapeake Bay as part of the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order that President Obama signed in May 2009. We will be responsible for implementing many of the actions identified in the Habitat and Living Resource 202(g) report.
Pennsylvania Ecological Services Plan
The Pennsylvania Ecological Services Field Office (PAFO) of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has developed this Priority Planning Strategy to guide its work over the next three fiscal years. This Strategy will be shared with other conservation partners, both within the FWS (e.g. other field stations in Pennsylvania, as well as neighboring Field Offices), and outside of the FWS (state wildlife agencies, federal agencies, conservation organizations, and others). Based on conversations with partners at all levels, and depending upon changing resources, information, or rates of progress, the Strategy will be subject to ongoing review and revision.
New York and Long Island Plan
The New York and Long Island Field Offices have developed a strategic plan for our future work. This plan provides the direction of our field offices’ work and allows us to clearly articulate to others what our goals are and why. Our plan was developed using the Strategic Habitat Conservation approach (SHC). The SHC approach is an adaptive management methodology with 4 identifiable phases – biological planning, conservation design, conservation implementation, and monitoring. You will see that our strategic plan reflects this process in its construction.
