Tell Us What You Think! Climate Adaptation Needs Assessment

You can help by answering these seven questions!

Forest managers need scientifically credible, relevant, and timely information on climate change, its effects on ecosystems, and potential management options in order to effectively respond to climate change. The Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science and Forest Stewards Guild are seeking input on key areas of uncertainty where managers have questions so that we can help promote science to address managers' needs.

Bottomland Hardwoods Learning Exchange

Register by October 31!

Meeting location: College of Coastal Georgia: 1 College Drive, Brunswick, GA. 

Please share the event flyer!

Tentative agenda is available now.

This field-based learning exchange will bring together experts from the Atlantic Coastal Plain and lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley to compare these two geographies based on social, ecological, and economic factors. An emphasis will be placed on the connection between forestry and hydrology, and how responsible forest management can play an integral role in conserving the whole system on a watershed-level. Through this event we hope to improve the management and conservation of bottomland forests and illustrate opportunities to meet diverse social values. This event is approved for 14.5 SAF CFE credits!
