Overview

This 2-day workshop will include: (1) a review of projected climate changes for the Nez Perce-Clearwater region, including what these changes mean for important resources; (2) a review of the vulnerability assessment workshop held in September 2013, including findings from both the natural resources and ecosystem services assessments; (3) the generation of adaptation strategies and tactics designed to reduce vulnerabilities or increase resilience of resources; and (4) an initial prioritization of and discussion about implementation of adaptation tactics.
The goal of this workshop is to create an opportunity for resource managers, planners, and others from the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests to review the results of the vulnerability assessment, discuss their options for managing resources in the face of climate change, and improve understanding of how vulnerability and adaptation information can be integrated into management operations. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to apply/utilize vulnerability and adaptation information in at least one current project or activity.
