Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture

The Appalachian Mountains Joint Venture brings together agencies, nonprofits, and landowners to tackle bird and wildlife conservation across the region. Their strength isn't in doing it alone—it's in coordinating efforts at a scale that matters.

• •Private Lands Focus: Work directly with landowners on habitat creation and forest management
• •Bird Conservation: Priority species monitoring and targeted habitat improvements
• •Forest Stewardship: Guidance materials and training (including "Click Before You Cut" resources)
• •Financial Assistance: Connect landowners with grants and technical support programs
• •Regional Coordination: Partner with state agencies, universities, and conservation groups

"Our strength is in our ability to strategically deliver conservation actions at a scale and scope unachievable by any single agency or organization."

Recent initiatives include NSF-funded research on migratory bird migration patterns and focal landscape projects across Pennsylvania and New York.

They publish annual digests, impact reports, and host the Science & Delivery Committee workshop each year.
