Colorado State University, the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS), the John Prince Research Forest, University of Northern British Columbia, University of Northern Arizona, and Natural Resources Canada will be hosting a virtual climate change adaptation workshop for partners working on the ecology and management of sub-boreal spruce forests in Northern B.C. This workshop will be held virtually on June 2, 2021 from 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM Pacific Time. 

Workshop Goals:

There is an increasing need to consider the anticipated effects of climate change on ecosystems and identify management actions that respond to these changes. This workshop is part of the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) project, a collaborative effort between managers and scientists working to establish a series of experimental silvicultural trials across a network of diverse forest ecosystem types throughout North America. Specific goals of this workshop are to:

• Provide hands-on training in considering climate change information and identifying adaptation actions for natural resources management professionals, First Nations, and community partners working in sub-boreal spruce forest ecosystems; 
• Engage natural resource managers, First Nations, and community partners in conceptual tools and approaches that help integrate climate change into on-the-ground planning and decision-making processes for managing sub-boreal spruce forest ecosystems.
