Alarka Headwaters habitat connectvity and sediment reduction project
-
The long-term viability of native Eastern Brook Trout in the southern Appalachian mountains is threatened primarily by three stressors: 1) loss of connectivity between fish populations for reproduction and gene flow and between fish and their available habitat; 2) sedimentation impacts on fish health and habitat; and 3) loss of cold waters due to climate change and high elevation land loss/degradation. This project directly addresses the first two stressors by replacing a double-piped culverted stream crossing on National Forest System Road 86 (FSR86) with a bottomless arch pipe (AOP) over Alarka Creek and adjusting the elevation and drainage features on the graveled road approaches to alleviate existing storm sediment inputs. This project is Phase I of a three-phased connectivity and sediment reduction project, with Phases II and III in years two – four involving replacement of two fords with AOP structures, graveled road improvements that reduce sedimentation, and a spruce bog restoration. All phases of this project occur within a high elevation (~4,000 feet) protected area in 100% ownership by the Nantahala National Forest, which indirectly addresses the third stressor. This work is needed to enhance genetic diversification and create a more robust, resilient and thriving group of brook trout populations better able to withstand a warming climate. It is a project that supports goals of the State of NC’s Wildlife Habitat Action Plan, Trout Management Plan and the Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest’s Land Resources Management Plan.

Appalachian Stewardship Foundation Grants
-
The ASF grant program was created to help address two specific issues surrounding energy development in Appalachia: greenhouse gases, and stream and fishery restoration. For stream restoration, Examples include restorations that address acid rain and acid mine drainage, as well as repair of habitat damaged by mining activities.While all Appalachian-based projects will be considered for funding, projects and programs benefiting Virginia and West Virginia will be given preference.
