  • Chesapeake Forest Restoration Strategy
    Eastern Region State and Private Forestry | NA-IN-03-13 | Revised September 2020 Chesapeake Forest Restoration Strategy Chesapeake Forest Restoration Strategy Acknowledgments Acknowledgments Written and edited by Katherine Brownson and Sally Claggett This revision of the Chesapeake Forest Restoration Strategy was a collaborative effort. State forestry agencies in all seven jurisdictions provided the impetus and continued support needed. Our advisory team members played a key role in developing and refining the content (listed on page 6). The following individuals also directly contributed content to the Strategy: Tracey Coulter (Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry), Lindsey Curtin (U.S. Forest Service), Scott Eggerud (Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement), Louis Iverson (U.S. Forest Service), Kate Livengood (The Nature Conservancy), Kate McFarland (USDA National Agroforestry Center), and Matthew Peters (U.S. Forest Service). Our partners at the Chesapeake Bay Program Office helped with essential data and GIS support: Ruth Cassilly (University of Maryland Extension), Peter Claggett (U.S. Geological Survey), Nora Jackson (Chesapeake Research Consortium), and Jeff Sweeney (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). In addition, multiple individuals gave us their time, professional input, and other information that was instrumental in developing the Strategy: Mary Beth Adams, Carolyn Pike, and Al Steele (U.S. Forest Service); Melissa Deas (D.C. Department of Energy and Environment); Deborah Landau (The Nature Conservancy); and numerous members of the Chesapeake Bay Forestry Workgroup. Finally, Sandra Clark and Deborah Muccio (U.S. Forest Service) provided assistance with editing and design, respectively. We thank all these partners for making this Strategy a reality.
