The U.S. Fire Learning Network and The Nature Conservancy’s Global Climate Change Adaptation Program - Collaborative WebEx Series Recordings
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.
Community-Based Approach to Restoring Fire-Adapted Ecosystems in the Western Klamath Mountains, June 27, 2011
Webinar recording of a presentation by Executive Director of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, Will Harling. Will has worked closely with agency, tribal, community, and environmental stakeholders to develop landscape level fire mitigation and fire suppression strategies for the rugged and remote Western Klamath Mountains. The presentation includes historical context of the current fire situation, lessons learned from recent major wildfires, collaborative efforts on large scale fuels reduction projects, and recommendations for mitigating the effects of climate change.

Southern Sierra Partnership Collaborative Conservation Assessment, June 13, 2011
Webinar recording of a presentation by Conservation Biology Institute's Susan Antenen. Susan discusses SSP's process, lessons learned, and efforts currently underway to implement a Regional Conservation Design that integrates conservation goals, threat projections, and climate change responses to identify areas of the landscape offering the best opportunities for sustaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. She also outlines the strategic approaches for climate adaption across public and private lands in the southern Sierra and Tehachapi Mountains (an area spanning 7 million acres in Fresno, Tulare, and Kern counties).

Working Together to Respond to Climate Change, May 12, 2011
Webinar recording of a presentation by the Conservancy’s Global Climate Adaptation Strategy Lead, Frank Lowenstein. He shares the presentation he and Patrick McCarthy, Director Southwest Climate Change Initiative, gave at the National Workshop on Climate and Forests. The presentation includes ways in which climate change will change physical relationships, biological relationships, and human needs and values – and discussion of how in this context, people will increasingly look to natural habitats for protection from extreme events—droughts, floods, debris flows, and wildfire.

Responding to Climate Change in the U.S. Southwest: Assessing Impacts, Taking Action, February 2, 2011
Webinar recording of a presentation by Patrick McCarthy on the work of the Southwest Climate Change Initiative (SWCCI), which is working to provide information and tools for managing landscapes and watersheds in light of a changing climate, assess climate change impacts, take action on a regional scale, and document and share their knowledge. The presentation includes an overview of climate changes in the SW on a habitat, species and watershed basis, some of the resulting ecological effects, management implications, an introduction to the four demonstration projects, and some lessons learned.

Climate Change Adaptation for Forests, August 11, 2010
Webinar recording of a presentation by Campbell Moore on the current state of knowledge for forest adaptation in California. This includes an enumeration and analysis of proposed strategies informed by a literature review and interviews with university and Conservancy scientists and federal agency representatives in California. Case studies of adaptation-related research and pilot projects are discussed as well as an overview of relevant actors in the state. While focused on California forests, most of the presentation is relevant to forests throughout the western U.S. and much of it to other forests as well.
