Voices from the Field - Methods, Lessons and Reflections from Practitioners
TNC's Global Climate Adaptation Program and the Fire Learning Network have an ongoing collaborative webex series. We bring you presentations and discussion with practitioners across the country who are working on a wide variety of climate adaptation and forest health approaches to improve the health and livelihoods of natural systems and the people who depend on them.
Recordings of these presentations are archived so that you can review them at your convenience.
The two most recent presentations include:
Central Appalachians Whole-System Landscape Vision, August 16, 2011, presentation by Thomas Minney, Central Appalachians Program Director.
Community-Based Approach to Restoring Fire-Adapted Ecosystems in the Western Klamath Mountains, June 27, 2011, presentation by Executive Director of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, Will Harling.
More details and links to the recordings for these two are listed below.

Central Appalachians Whole-System Landscape Vision, August 16, 2011
Webinar recording of presentation by Thomas Minney, Central Appalachians Program Director. The Central Appalachians Whole-System Landscape has been using Adaptation/Resiliency mapping (created by Dr. Mark Anderson, TCN Eastern Division scientist) in the development of a regional vision of essential forests blocks and key connectors across the Central Appalachians. The program is using this GIS mapping exercise to provide maps that help give a filter to make decisions on an adaptive network configuration.
