1 The Mount Mansfield Science and Stewardship Center Strategic Plan Our Mission To catalyze collaborative science and stewardship for healthy mountains, watersheds, and communities Founding Partners University of Vermont Vermont Center for Ecostudies Vermont Monitoring Cooperative Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation Stowe Mountain Resort Kent McFarland This strategic plan summarizes information contained in program, facilities, and business plans developed with support from the National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure, the UVM Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, the Vermont Monitoring Cooperative, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, The Vermont Ski Areas Association, and the UVM Offices of the Provost and Vice President for Research.
2 Our Vision Mansfield Center partners envision: A community of scholars, educators, and natural resource managers engaged in transformational science and stewardship from a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of the Green Mountains A dynamic hub of inquiry and education, where the Center s cooperators and visitors interact and learn from one another in a living laboratory A home for programs that foster a deeper understanding of high-elevation ecology and sustain the vitality of ecosystems on Mount Mansfield and throughout the bioregion Our Guiding Principles Our programs and practices are guided by the following principles. Integration of research, education, and stewardship is needed to sustain ecosystems and their services to society. Strategic collaboration increases the impact of science and conservation by aligning resources, skills, and knowledge. Standardized, long-term monitoring and short-term experimentation play essential and complementary roles in science and stewardship. Together, they provide a vital record of the past, reveal ecological patterns and processes, and form a basis for projecting future conditions under different scenarios. Science, stewardship and education must adapt as conditions change and techniques improve. Ecological and economic sustainability are fundamental to implementing responsible science, stewardship, and education programs. Cooperative and proficient information management creates valuable opportunities for researchers, educators, and natural resource managers. Place-based science, stewardship, and education offer unique advantages over other approaches to building and applying knowledge. Our Goals To build knowledge of mountain ecosystems and changes affecting mountain flora and fauna To advance understanding of relationships among mountains, streams, and lakes. To provide place-based education and outreach on mountain ecology, conservation issues, and stewardship To develop, implement, and demonstrate management actions that lead to improved conservation of mountain environments To provide a platform for scholarship and instruction in fields that address social dimensions of mountain environments, such as engineering, human health, economics, education, and the humanities To foster connections among UVM schools and programs and between the University and the Vermont State College system 1
3 Science and Stewardship Measure natural variability and effects of human activity on mountain ecosystems with observations and experiments conducted across a range of elevations Quantify and model processes that sustain ecosystem function and deliver ecosystem services Evaluate the capacity of plant and animal populations and natural communities to resist, recover from, and adapt to anthropogenic stressors Integrate scientific findings into management decisions, tools, and guidelines that support the health, resilience, and stable transformation of mountain ecosystems Apply, assess, and communicate these measures on Mount Mansfield An active program of coordinated, multi-disciplinary research projects that address effects of climate change and other human-induced stressors on the health of mountain ecosystems Research policies and procedures that ensure compatibility among research activities and minimize impacts on natural features and visitor experiences Uptake of research findings into environmental policy and natural resource management A Northeast Mountain Science Conference that explores frontiers of knowledge and generates regionally coordinated research projects linking natural, physical, and social sciences 2
4 Education Provide learning experiences that prepare students to be leaders in environmental science, stewardship, and related fields Foster dedication to healthy ecological and social systems through immersion in cooperative field studies Build technical skills and knowledge by enabling students to participate directly in multiple phases of science and stewardship projects Offer informal science and stewardship education to people visiting the Mansfield Center and the Smuggler s Notch Visitors Center Deliver outreach programs to area residents An annual calendar of education, outreach, training, and service-learning programs, including UVM field courses and labs An undergraduate research internship program Guided and self-guided science and stewardship tours that highlight research, management, and restoration projects A proposal to establish a UVM certificate program in Mountain Studies Charles Gangas 3
5 Data Management Incorporate data storage, transfer and management costs into research project proposals Utilize and support cyberinfrastructure currently maintained by the Vermont Monitoring Cooperative Provide a secure repository for data and metadata with access constraints and backup policies Provide searchable, linked information for Mansfield Center research projects, including a document archive, data display and visualization capability, and metadata summaries Add data collected through sensor networks to the data repository on an ongoing basis and subject them to quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures A channel of funding for data management established through research project proposals QA/QC protocols for information gathered by sensor arrays Semi-annual training sessions for Mansfield Center cooperators, visitors, and program participants with orientation to data resources and protocols An updated data management plan to reflect current user needs and system requirements 4
