In this webinar, learn how might climate change affect forest growth and what can we do about it?

This presentation focuses on a climate change adaptation case study that demonstrates how to integrate climate science and risk assessment into tangible forest management decision-making on a 11,300 hectare land-base adjacent to the small rural communities of Harrop and Procter in Southeastern BC.

The Future Forest Ecosystems Initiative in partnership with the Forest and Range Evaluation Program of the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations engaged University of British Columbia researchers to develop a strategy for monitoring forest and rangeland species and ecosystem processes in light of climate change.

This special report prepared by the British Columbia Forest Practices Board (FPB) advises the provincial government on its three current initiatives. The creation of a Watershed Security Strategy and Fund, modernization of BC’s forestry legislation, and development of a Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy.
