Communities across the Commonwealth are finding creative ways to integrate climate science into on-the-ground decision making regarding community forests and management. Community forests benefit all of us by providing a myriad of environmental, health and economic benefits. However, these forests are experiencing a multitude of stressors stemming from climate change. Please join us for information on funding strategies to respond to forest conservation, habitat, and climate challenges in your community. Recently completed habitat and climate-informed community forest management projects will be explored through case studies.
