Adaptation in Action
Forest Management Strategies for a Changing Climate
A rapidly warming climate is threatening forest ecosystems through higher temperatures, altered precipitation, and increased stress. As climate impacts intensify, forest managers need strategies that help forests adapt now and prepare for future challenges. Guided by the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS) Forest Adaptation Menu, this webinar series explores practical, real-world approaches to climate adaptation.
Each session highlights a key adaptation strategy and connects current science with boots-on-the-ground forest management. Participants will learn both the theory behind adaptation and hear directly from forest managers addressing climate risk in practice. From sustaining fundamental ecological processes to realigning ecosystems after disturbance, the series will provide foresters, land managers, and conservation professionals with tools and examples of how to strengthen forest resilience, health, and sustainability.

This series is possible through a grant from the Wisconsin SFI® Implementation Committee. The mission of the Wisconsin SFI® Implementation Committee (WI SIC) is to promote and enhance SFI and sustainable forestry practices within Wisconsin through grassroots collaboration with stakeholders, partners, and those who benefit from managed forests.
The Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) is a statewide collaboration of scientists and stakeholders formed as a partnership between UW-Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. WICCI’s goals are to evaluate climate change impacts on Wisconsin and foster solutions.
