Restoration Projects

The "Restoration Projects" feature layer is a component of the "[Pollinator Restoration 2022]" map which is itself a component of the "[USFWS Pollinator Restoration Projects Mapper]" which is a dashboard showing management projects that benefit pollinators across the Western U.S. See below for a description of the "USFWS Pollinator Restoration Projects Mapper." The "USFWS Pollinator Restoration Projects Mapper" is under development by the Region 1 (Pacific Northwest) USFWS Science Applications program. Completion is anticipated by Winter 2023. Contact: Alan Yanahan (alan_yanahan@fws.gov). The purpose of the "USFWS Pollinator Restoration Projects Mapper" is to inform future pollinator conservation efforts by providing a way to identify geographic areas where additional pollinator conservation may be needed. The "USFWS Pollinator Restoration Projects Mapper" maps the locations of where on-the-ground projects that are beneficial to pollinators have taken place. Its primary focus is projects on public lands. The majority of records included in this tool come from internal databases for the USFWS, US Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management, which were queried for relevant projects. The tool is not intended as a database for reporting projects to. Rather, the tool synthesizes records from existing databases. The geographic scope of the tool includes the western states of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. When possible, the tool includes projects from 2014 to the present. This timespan was chosen because it matches the timespan of the USFWS Monarch Conservation Database For consistency, the tool groups pollinator beneficial projects into the following four activity types: * Restoration: Actions taken after a disturbance, such as planting native forbs after a wildfire * Maintenance: Actions taken outside the growing season that maintain habitat quality through regular disturbance using manual or chemical means. Examples: mowing, spraying weeds, prescribed fire * Conservation: Acquiring land or creating easements that are managed for biodiversity * Enhancement: Actions that increase forb diversity and nectar resources, such as planting native milkweed The tool includes a map that aggregates project point locations within 49 square mile sized hexagon grid cells. Users can click on individual grid cells to activate a pop-up menu to cycle through the projects that occurred within that grid cell. Information for each project include, but are not limited to, acreage, type of activity (i.e., restoration, maintenance, conservation, enhancement), data source, and lead organization. The tool also includes a dashboard to view bar graphs and pie charts that display project acreages and project number based on location (i.e., state), project activity type (i.e., restoration, maintenance, conservation, enhancement), data source, and management type. Data can be filtered by data source, activity type, and year. Data filtering will update the map, bar graphs, and pie charts.
NLCD CONUS 2021 Landcover - tiled imagery service

The Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) consortium is a group of federal agencies who coordinate and generate consistent and relevant land cover information at the national scale for a wide variety of environmental, land management, and modeling applications. The creation of this consortium has resulted in the mapping of the lower 48 United States, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico into a comprehensive land cover product termed, the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), from decadal Landsat satellite imagery and other supplementary datasets. The primary objective of the MRLC NLCD is to provide the Nation with nationally complete, current, consistent, and public domain information on the Nation's land cover. Land cover information is critical for local, state, and federal managers and officials to assist them with issues such as assessing ecosystem status and health, modeling nutrient and pesticide runoff, understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity, land use planning, deriving landscape pattern metrics, and developing land management policies. All MRLC NLCD data products are available at no charge to the user. This version of the 2021 NLCD CONUS gives improved functionality within ArcGIS online to allow for 1) raster inquire results, and 2) the ability to display only selected thematic classifications

Since 2017 Lake Sturgeon Herpesviruses (LSHVs) have been identified in the Great Lakes basin (Wisconsin and Michigan), and in the MIssissippi River basin (Wisconsin). Current data suggests the presence of two similar but distinct herpesviruses (Family Alloherpesviridae) in these Lake Sturgeon populations. Field data is being sought via this survey in order to aid fish health professionals in better understanding the current range of LSHVs.
MAV Forest Breeding-bird DSM

FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE: https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjv We developed a spatially explicit decision support model, based on a Partners in Flight plan for forest bird conservation, that prioritizes forest restoration to reduce forest fragmentation and increase the area of forest core (interior forest >250 m from “hostile” edge). Our primary objective was to increase the number of forest patches that harbor >2000 ha of forest core, but we also sought to increase the number and area of forest cores >5000 ha. Concurrently, we targeted restoration within local (320 km2) landscapes to achieve ≥60% forest cover. Finally, we emphasized restoration of higher-elevation bottomland hardwood forests in areas where restoration would not increase forest fragmentation. Forest patches should be of sufficient size to support source populations of targeted bird species, to minimize the likelihood of extirpation, and to ensure a low probability of genetic degradation. The issues that must be resolved in order to select an appropriately‐sized patch of habitat for breeding birds are: 1) context, or how ought breeding birds be buffered from the negative influence of surrounding matrices; 2) desired number of breeding pairs to constitute a source population with a high probability of long‐term viability; and 3) the density at which birds tend to occur within habitat likely to be included in average patches. Area can be conceptually calculated using the formula: A = (N * D) + B where A = Area of forest required to support a source population (ha), N = Desired number of breeding pairs, D = Density of breeding birds (expressed as area / breeding pair), and B = The area (ha) of a 1‐km‐wide forested buffer around the core forest area (N * D). The 2015 Updated was completed by Michael Mitchell (Ducks Unlimited - Southern Regional Office), in cooperation and collaboration with the LMVJV partnership.
MAV forestcore 2021 - areas greater than 5000ac

FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE: https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjv Core Forest Patches -- Core forests are interior patches of forest buffered from edge effects of predation, cowbird parasitism and other anthropogenic deleterious effects and, thus, are beneficial areas for forest bird breeding success. The Lower Mississippi Valley Joint Venture (LMVJV) created the Core Forest Patch layer from a 2021 Forest Cover assessment for the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (also developed by the LMVJV) to determine the amount of bottomland hardwood forest and the number of quality core patches available to forest breeding-birds of the MAV. The LMVJV's Forest Breeding-bird Decision Support Model for Reforestation seeks to reduce forest fragmentation and increase the area of forest core (interior forest >250 m from “hostile” edge).

The Network met formally for the first time in January 2011, hosting its first membership meeting in Brinkley, AR. Since its establishment, the diversity of regional partner organizations participating in the Network has grown significantly and now includes: AR Forestry Commission, AR Game & Fish Commission, AR Natural Heritage Commission, AR Natural Resources Commission, Audubon, Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation, The Nature Conservancy, University of Arkansas, Monticello, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, & Quail Forever
Golden_winged_warbler range_28JUL11

Abstract: The Golden-winged Warbler (GWWA) is a rapidly declining species of migratory songbird that is currently being considered for listing under the US Endangered Species Act. The golden-winged warbler relies on early successional habitat (old fields and young forest) which must be created and maintained to support breeding birds. In an effort to increase populations throughout the breeding range, creation and maintenance of habitat is essential. The Golden-winged Warbler Working Group is initiating a Habitat Management Challenge throughout the breeding range to encourage a variety of partners (state and federal agencies as well as non-profit organizations and private citizens) to contribute to this effort.
