1. Temple Flat Rock Conceptual Model Louise Alexander, Steve Allen, Emily Weidner and Jessie Allen

2. Vision for Temple Flat Rock Preserve the presence of a healthy granitic outcrop and Piedmont prairie ecosystems that provide a learning laboratory to appreciate and learn about the two important ecosystem types and conservation in general.

3. Property's scope The property should be protected to preserve the granitic outcrop habitat that exists. This may entail dealing with threats to that habitat that come from activities on adjacent properties such as farming, grazing animals and logging. The native successional plants we wish to protect may also face threats from invasive plants, foraging or trampling from native wildlife and trampling from human activity.

4. Property's scope The property can also serve as an educational tool to show the benefit of maintaining a Piedmont prairie habitat. Educational material can be prepared to show the benefit of native species, the animals that benefit from prairie grasses and how the neighboring properties can join in on the project. Involving the neighboring landowners can have larger impacts than limiting efforts to the TLC property.

5. Targets special species (rare, endangered, endemic, etc.) on granitic outcrop native field species education/awareness about granitic outcrop

6. Direct Threats encroachment of invasive non-native species from neighboring lands inability to burn and manage field intense, uninvited public use illegal dumping and littering unauthorized vehicles on property (ATVs, dirt bikes, mountain bikes) development of adjacent properties could lead to more foot traffic logging on adjacent properties
