Forest Legacy Assessment of Need Draft Proposed Forest Legacy Areas Governor’s Commission for Protecting the Chesapeake Bay through Sustainable Forestry April 19, 2006

Today’s Objectives: Review Goals and Criteria responses Present revised “Draft Forest Legacy Areas” Identify Next Steps

Goals and Criteria Survey Response All Goals retained Greater than 50 % support for each goal Descriptive Profile of FLAs Example provided To be included in the AON report

Goals and Criteria Justify and Refine draft boundaries Will be used to evaluate and rank projects Criteria importance determined by survey ranks Offers objective, quantitative and scientifically valid approach for national competition

Parcel Ecological Value Ecological Score of GI within Parcel Acres of Green Infrastructure (GI) Percent of Parcel in GI Acres of Protected Land within 1 Mile Contribution to Protection of Hub or Corridor Composite Score

Parcel Economic Value Economic Score of Forest within Parcel Parcel Size (acres) Percent of Parcel Forested Forest Patch Size Proximity to Existing Forest Stewardship Plans Composite Score

Revised “Draft Forest Legacy Areas” Commission feedback Join adjacent areas Expand areas to incorporate important forest land Other modifications High ranking (top 30 th eco-rank) GI hubs TNC forest matrix blocks

Draft Proposed Forest Legacy Areas Presented to Commission on March 13 th, 2006 ORIGINAL FLA Total Area: 3,800 sq miles = 38.9% land area
