A Regional Initiative to Support Biomass Energy Development Practices Benefitting Early-Succession SGCN in the Northeast Scott D. Klopfer Conservation Management Institute Virginia Tech

Evaluate Potential Impacts Biomass practices – Examine process (planting, management, harvest impacts) SGCNs – Look at SGCN needs and status – Evaluate impacts

Basic Analysis Total net SGCN # positively impacted - # negatively impacted So, 11 positive – 19 negative = -8

All SGCN (470) Existing Land Cover Row Crop Mature Deciduous Mature Coniferous Shrubland / Young forest Pasture / Hay Native NWSG mix Monoculture grass (dedicated) Dedicated mono. deciduous woody Dedicated mono. coniferous woody Native early successional Thinned timber stand

Summary points New biomass activities that involve planting grass or woody material should be focused on existing row crop or pasture land. The best option for forested systems is to utilize practices that result in native regeneration and decrease fragmentation Wildlife managers and biologists must work cooperatively with biomass developers early in the process
