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.

SC Rainwater Harvesting Manual
-
Homeowner/community resource for construction and use of rain barrels and gardens. Rainwater harvesting is a tool that can be used to manage stormwater in new and established communities. This concept relies on cisterns or other containers to capture rainwater for reuse.

Seasonal streamflow extremes are key drivers of Brook Trout young-of-the-year abundance
-
Based on counts of Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) collected over 28 yr at 115 sites in Shenandoah National Park, we developed mixed-effects models to (1) assess how well extreme streamflow, as compared to mean flows and total precipitation, can explain young-of-the-year (YOY) abundance, (2) identify potential nonlinear relationships between seasonal environmental covariates and abundance using nonlinear generalized additive mixed models, and (3) explore likely impacts of expected future weather and streamflow conditions.

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.
