Can brook trout survive climate change in large rivers? If it rains - Merriam et al. 2017: Brook trout habitat vulnerability was assessed within an Appalachian watershed. • Increased discharge largely offset effects of increased air temperature. • No consistent loss of suitable brook trout habitat by end of 21st century • However, periods of low flow resulted in a loss of habitat at the network-scale. • Persistence of refugia below tributaries should enable metapopulation persistence.

Climate change influence on brook trout populations in the Central Appalachians - Andrew et al. 2022: We used a 18-year brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) data set with samples across a ~4800 km2 spatial area in the Central Appalachian Mountains, combined with PRISM climate data at the HUC-12 subwatershed level to investigate temporal trends of each. his work provides long-term evidence to help understand the dynamics of these sentinel headwater fish populations as they experience a changing climate.

USDA Conservation Stewardship Program: The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) helps agricultural producers maintain and improve their existing conservation systems and adopt additional conservation activities to address priority resources concerns. Participants earn CSP payments for conservation performance—the higher the performance, the higher the payment.

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.

Oats Run, Upper Shavers Fork, Aquatic Passage Project in Pocahontas County, WV: This project will restore habitat linkages between a brook trout spawning tributary in Oats Run and the mainstem of the Upper Shaver's Fork at Spruce West Virginia. One passage barrier will be removed and replaced with passage friendly culverts and natural stream design techniques will be utilized above and below the new structure to ensure fish passage. The project will provide 4 miles of passage for brook trout.
