September 6, 2016 • Butte, MT • Butte Ranger District Office
Overview
Workshop Objectives
- Review climate vulnerability and adaptation implementation tools for recreation planning.
- Finalize list of recreation categories to be used in application of climate implementation tools.
- Provide an overview of climate and non-climate GIS layers and how they can inform recreation planning.
- Present examples of how recreation forest plan components can be written using a climate lens.
- Apply climate implementation tools in the development of recreation forest plan components (e.g., desired conditions, objectives, approaches/strategies).
