Overview

This climate change adaptation workshop is one piece of a larger project entitled the Northern California Climate Adaptation Project, a collaborative effort between EcoAdapt, the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, and the Bureau of Land Management - California. The purpose of this project is to conduct a vulnerability assessment and develop climate-smart adaptation strategies for focal resources (habitats, species, species groups) of northwestern California, with a specific focus on the Six Rivers, Klamath, Shasta-Trinity, and Mendocino National Forests and Arcata, Redding, and portions of the Ukiah BLM field office areas.
The goal of this workshop is to develop specific implementation plans for high-priority adaptation strategies, focused on specific sites, projects, and/or focal resources. Participants will also review and evaluate adaptation strategies and actions compiled during previous workshops and from outside sources in order to support the identification strategies and actions that should be prioritized for implementation.

Agenda & Speakers

9am–12pm on November 15th and 16th, 2021
