Berryhill Rhododendron Bluffs Tool: Conservation Values Scorecard

A property conservation value scorecard. Provides a numerical score to assess conservation targets and indicators. Provides a consistent assessment during the acquisition phase. Provides a comparison of conservation targets over time. What and Why?

Conservation Value Scorecard Seven Categories 1. Landscape Factors 2. Management Concerns 3. Aquatic Resources 4. Natural Heritage 5. Historical / Educational Value 6. Threat of Development 7. Potential Partnerships

How to use it. Catawba Rhododendron Riparian Buffer Ginseng Conservatio n Targets Ginseng is listed as a species of concern in NC. Both Catawba rhododendron and mountain laurel occur on a heath bluff, rare for this area, and comprise a mesic mixed hardwood community 13

0 X Property needs extensive stream restoration, species monitoring, and work and monitoring of specific species Ginseng Catawba Rhododendron Riparian Buffer

Overall Berryhill Score Natural Heritage Score: 13 out of 20 Management Score: -1 out of 20 Potential Partnerships - Active groups within the Morgan’s Creek Watershed: Town of Carrboro Town of Chapel Hill UNC Chapel Hill Botanical Garden Foundation/Morgan’s Creek Alliance.

Analysis IF TLC had an opportunity to buy the property today, this tool would allow an assessment of the conservation value of the property as it relates to their mission. Qualitative judgment interpreted from numerical score. Different organizations can customize the scorecard to meet their mission goals and can weight criteria to reflect their priorities.

Conclusions Recommendations: TLC should have a conversation about the long term viability of the site and research potential partners (see partnership section of scorecard) Future Uses of Scorecard: Qualitative judgment interpreted from numerical score Different organizations can customize the scorecard to meet their mission goals and can weight criteria to reflect their priorities.
