Inside the June 2017 Edition

The Wildlife Management Institute (WMI) held the first of four planned training sessions to help state wildlife agencies align programs and practices with Wildlife Governance Principles based on public trust thinking and good governance norms. Increasing alignment with the principles is expected to make state agencies more effective and relevant to our changing society, one of the key recommendations of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ (AFWA) Blue Ribbon Panel on the Future of Fish and Wildlife.

With support from the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC), NatureServe recently completed a project to expand LandScope Chesapeake, a web-based mapping platform designed to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. LandScope is a conservation tool promoted by the Chesapeake Conservation Partnership (the Partnership), a regional coalition of 50 plus partners among the six states of the watershed and DC. The Partnership has long-term goals for the Chesapeake Bay to encourage a vibrant economy, strong communities, healthy people, working farms and forests, vital habitat for native wildlife, clean water, our shared heritage, recreation, and quality of life.
