Forest Climate Resilience: A Practical Course for Landowners and Practitioners

Climate change is happening now with some of us already experiencing the impacts. We are all facing uncertainties as forests and ecosystems are changing due to climate change. In the face of these challenges, we have developed an instructional course focused on assessing and adapting management of woodlots to projected climate change impacts.

We hope that through participation landowners and forest practitioners will further develop their knowledge of potential impacts and adaptations to the unique challenges of climate change. By doing so we can work towards creating resiliency in society and on the landscape to face future uncertainties and disturbances.

The OWA and our partners at the Climate Risk Institute are proud to deliver this educational opportunity to OWA members and the public. 

Course Information

The course is delivered online over 8 weeks with a live introduction session to kick things off in week 1. The live session will be on July 8th from 12 pm - 1 pm EDT (attendance is optional), and will be recorded and made available on the platform for all participants. Over the following 7 weeks, pre-recorded modules will be sent to participants and can be completed at your own pace. This will allow for anyone to complete the course from anywhere. Once registered you will receive instruction to access the online platform. 

The course will run from July 8, 2024 until August 26, 2024.
