The Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science andUSDA Northern Forests Climate Hub offered the Forest Adaptation Planning and Practices training as an online, six-week course! The first course dates are January/February 2016, with future course offerings in the planning stages.
This unique opportunity provides hands-on training in considering climate change information and identifying adaptation actions for natural resources management and conservation.
