National Workshop on Climate and Forests
Join leading scientists, foresters, and educators to learn and discuss what needs to be done today to manage tomorrow’s forests.
The National Workshop on Climate and Forests: Planning Tools and Perspectives on Adaptation and Mitigation Options took place in Flagstaff, AZ, May 16-18. The workshop was intended:
- to extend greater understanding of the current adaptation and mitigation options (the 5-R's) for forest management;
- to make state-of-the-art climatic and ecological planning tools accessible and useful for decision makers, forest resource managers and extension educators at all levels;
- to explore how to make these options and tools better utilized by the various forest resource managers and extension educators across the country; and
- to foster understanding of where scientific research and practitioners' expectations intersect to generate the best management decisions.
EFETAC's Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options (TACCIMO), Comparative Risk Assessment Framework and Tools (CRAFT), and Water Supply Stress Index-Carbon and Biodiversity model were featured. Visit the workshop Web site for details.
