The Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative is an applied science and management partnership working to protect natural lands, valued resources and the biological diversity that provide environmental benefits and services to the human communities across the region. The Appalachian LCC is part of a coordinated, national network of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives initiated by the U.S. Department of Interior in September 2009.  Addressing the science needs through the Cooperative member partnerships will support biological planning, conservation design, and help direct research and monitoring necessary to inform decisions about conservation delivery. This website is a place gather and share information, data, and discussions. Read More

REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS (Contract Solicitation)
DUE MARCH 29, 2012, 5pm Eastern Time

The Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative announces the release of six Requests for Applications (RFAs) for contracts to support top science needs. The contracted work will help address top science needs in the areas of ecological flow modeling and aquatic habitat classification, predictive energy extraction, terrestrial landscapes and endemic species, and climate change vulnerability assessments. To view these RFAs and to post specific questions for LCC staff response, please join the website (above right on homepage) and then follow this link http://applcc.org/page/project-support.  For general comments or suggestions, scroll down to blog on this topic.

Applications are due no later than March 29, 2012 5pm EST and should be sent to Bridgett Costanzo, Science Coordinator at Bridgett_costanzo@fws.gov. Late submissions will not be considered. If you have questions, please plan to attend any of the weekly Q&A calls which will be held as a forum for detailed discussions with potential applicants; those dates/times are included in the RFAs.

Conservation Priorities Science Needs Workshop (November 29-30, 2011)

The workshop assembled a group of researchers and managers from across the Appalachian region that will be invited to identify the broad suite of decision-support tools and science information needs to address the conservation challenges and opportunities across the landscape. The resulting “Portfolio” will serve as a critical guiding framework to help facilitate and support conservation planning, delivery, and applied research and monitoring efforts across the region.
