The Virginia Stream Restoration & Stabilization Best Management Practices Guide
This guide was developed to provide a technical resource for government, private, and non-profit organizations involved in permitting, designing, or constructing stream channel and bank stabilization and restoration projects. A primary reason for developing this guide is to combine information found scattered in numerous documents into a single publication. It covers permitting, design, costs, and best management practices.

Appalachian Stewardship Foundation Grants
The ASF grant program was created to help address two specific issues surrounding energy development in Appalachia: greenhouse gases, and stream and fishery restoration. For stream restoration, Examples include restorations that address acid rain and acid mine drainage, as well as repair of habitat damaged by mining activities.While all Appalachian-based projects will be considered for funding, projects and programs benefiting Virginia and West Virginia will be given preference.

Saving Healthy Lands - Potomac Conservancy
Through our Land Protection program, Potomac Conservancy works one-on-one with private landowners to conserve forested, agricultural, streamside, and open space lands in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and the South Branch River Valley of West Virginia. We also provide resources for land management and cost-share programs to ensure working lands are both productive and river-friendly.

SENSITIVITY AND VULNERABILITY OF BROOK TROUT POPULATIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE
We directly measured paired air and water temperatures in watersheds (N = 77) containing reproducing populations of brook trout in Virginia. We found that paired air and water temperature relationships are highly variable among patches but are a useful dataset to classify sensitivity and vulnerability of existing brook trout patches. We developed a classification system using sensitivity and vulnerability metrics that classified sampled brook trout habitats into four categories (High Sensitivity- High Vulnerability (51.9%); High Sensitivity-Low Vulnerability (10.4%); Low Sensitivity-High Vulnerability (7.8%); Low Sensitivity-Low Vulnerability (29.9%). Our direct measurement approach identified potential refugia for brook trout at lower elevations and with higher air temperatures than previous larger scale modeling efforts.
