Red spruce forests in central Appalachia

USGS researchers with the Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (NE CASC) and Virginia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, and graduate students at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Va Tech) are working with the Central Appalachian Red Spruce Restoration Initiative, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, West Virginia Division of Forestry, and The Nature Conservancy to reconnect scattered, isolated red spruce forest patches into a resilient landscape corridor across the central Appalachians.
