Focal Resources Workshop for the Southern California Climate Adaptation Project
November 18, 2014 • San Dimas, CA • San Dimas Technology and Development Center
Overview
EcoAdapt and the USDA Forest Service are leading the Southern California Climate Adaptation Project, which includes conducting a vulnerability assessment, developing climate-smart adaptation strategies and actions, and generating adaptation implementation plans for focal resources of Southern California, with a specific focus on four National Forests (Angeles,
San Bernardino, Cleveland, Los Padres). Funding for this project is provided by the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative and USDA Forest Service.
The goal of this workshop is to collaboratively identify and finalize a suite of focal resources (e.g., habitats, species). The final suite of resources will be the focus of the vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning efforts for the remainder of the project.
