Climatic shifts are affecting forest habitats all across the U.S., challenging how we fulfill our mission of conserving, protecting, and enhancing wildlife habitat. Warming winters, extreme precipitation events, drought and catastrophic wildfire, and other elements affect pollinators,
game species, bats, fish, birds, and the people that steward their habitats. Ecosystem management and community-building are part of the solution to addressing these challenges.
The U S Fish & Wildlife Service and the Northern Forests Climate Hub will hold a Recovery and Conservation of Threatened and Endangered Species webinar on January 21st from Noon to 1:30 pm ET.
This webinar is the first of a series of Managing Forests as Habitat in a Changing World monthly webinars being held on the third Tuesday of each month.
This series provides examples of ecological silviculture and restoration techniques that enhance habitat along with the planning, policy, guidance, and partnerships needed to get these actions implemented. Panels will represent a diversity of biologists, foresters, and scientists to help participants discover management tools, respond to climate change, and build on collaborative conservation success (and failure!) stories.
The topic series explores the impacts of a changing world on forest ecosystems and adaptation options for natural resource management. Panelists will discuss projects, barriers and solutions, lessons learned, and next steps.
