NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

  • Description of a Land Classification System and Its Application to the Management of Tennessee’S State Forests
    DESCRIPTION OF A LAND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE MANAGEMENT OF TENNESSEE’S STATE FORESTS Glendon W. Smalley, S. David Todd, and K. Ward Tarkington III1 Abstract—The Tennessee Division of Forestry has adopted a land classification system developed by the senior author as the basic theme of information for the management of its 15 state forests (162,371 acres) with at least 1 in each of 8 physio- graphic provinces. This paper summarizes the application of the system to six forests on the Cumberland Plateau. Landtypes are the most detailed level in the hierarchical system and represent distinct units of the landscape (mapped at a scale of 1:24,000) as defined by physiography, climate, geology, soils, topography, and vegetation. Each of the 39 landtypes are described in terms of geographic setting, dominant soils, parent material, depth to bedrock, soil texture, soil drainage, relative soil water supply, relative fertility, and forest type. Additional information includes species suitable, site productivity, and operability for management activities. The maps aid the delineation of stands, streamside management zones, and “conservation” and other special use areas; the location of rare, threaten and endangered (RTE) species; the design of harvests; and the modeling of future forest conditions. The landtypes are an integral element in modeling wildlife habitat, in siting game food plots, and planning other wildlife management activities, particularly on forests that are dual wildlife and forest management areas. The maps are excellent training devices and extremely useful in explaining management plans to legislators and the public. INTRODUCTION The five levels of Smalley’s system proceeding from the least- The Tennessee Division of Forestry (TDF) has adopted a land detailed to the most-detailed are: physiographic province, classification system developed by the senior author (Smalley region, subregion, landtype association, and landtype.

    GEOLOGY: N. M. FENNEMAN 17 PHYSIOGRAPHIC SUBDIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES By Nevin M. Fenneman DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Communicated by W. M. Davis, November 24, 1916 Various attempts at subdivision of the United States into physio- graphic provinces have been made, beginning with- that of Powell.' The Association of American Geographers, recognizing the fundamental importance of this problem, appointed a committee in 1915 to prepare a suitable map of physiographic divisions. The committee consists of Messrs. M. R. Campbell and F. E. Matthes of the U. S. Geological Survey and Professors Eliot Blackwelder, D. W. Johnson, and Nevin M. Fenneman (chairman). The map herewith presented and the ac- companying table of divisions constitute the report of that committee. The same map on a larger scale (120 miles to the inch) will be found in Volume VI of the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, accompanying a paper by the writer on the Physiographic Divisions of the United States. In that paper are given the nature of the bound- ary lines and those characteristics of the several units which are believed to justify their recognition as such. Though the above-named com- mittee is not directly responsible for the statements there made, many of them represent the results of the committee's conferences. The paper as a whole is believed to represent fairly well the views of the committee, though in form the greater part of it is a revision of a former publication.2 The basis of division shown on this map, here reproduced, is physio- graphic or, as might be said in Europe, morphologic.
