The goal of the project was to help more efficiently achieve a resilient Appalachian forest landscape within the NALCC geography that is built upon a broadly shared vision for a sustainable, connected mosaic of forest habitats and waters that are home to thriving intact ecosystems and human communities. This project was intended to identify and showcase efforts that, in the light of advances in climate adaptation, best contribute to effective landscape conservation actions in the region.
This NALCC demonstration project was to cover a broadly defined super-region within the NALCC geography – the Appalachian forests that extend from the hills west of the Appalachian Mountains, east to the Piedmont. As such, it was to complement the local (Marsh Migration) and regional (White Mountains to Moosehead Lake) scale NALCC demonstration projects with which it was associated in the initial round of activity.
This project was not completed, but the project timeline was not extended.
