Project Summary:
The purpose of this project is to expand the available educational materials used by the Linking Lands Alliance to the neighboring Greater Upper Valley region of New Hampshire. To do so, this project has adapted the spatial analysis model (as described by Linking Lands Alliance at - https://www.linkinglandsalliance.org/llamaps) performed in Vermont to this New Hampshire region. More information on the importance of habitat blocks to ecosystem functioning can be found in the Vermont Habitat Blocks and Habitat Connectivity report (VT Fish and Wildlife, 2014). The objectives of the project include:
Identify habitat blocks using best-available Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data and accepted scientific methods.
Rank the habitat blocks for their biological and conservation value (also called “ecological importance”).
