How to Use the Expertise Database: The Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) is excited to announce the launching of its unique Member Directory, an expert database tool that is bringing together a diverse range of individuals and expertise interested in participating in landscape conservation efforts throughout the region. This database will be an ideal tool for colleagues to seek out and communicate with others in their field of interest and identify experts to collaborate on projects.

The Directory will help us create a dynamic conservation community network for the Appalachian region.
