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.
