Driftless ASCC blends research with demonstration sites to evaluate different silvicultural approaches to climate change adaptation at oak forests across the Driftless region. Scott O&rsquo;Donnell, Ph.D., WI DNR Forest Genetics and Ecology Specialist, will present on the Desired Regeneration through Assisted Migration (DREAM) project, an assisted migration experiment that blends silvicultural treatments with tree planting at sites in Northern WI.<\/p>\n<p>The recorded session will be available soon.<\/p><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"hcard-mediacell\"><div class=\"hcard-images hcard-oneimg\"><div class=\"hcard-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/WFC-AIA-May-Webinar-Image-Hutnik-scaled-1.jpg)\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"hslider-buttoncontainer\"><button class=\"hsliderBack horizontal-sliderbutton\" aria-label=\"previous slide\">\u276e<\/button><div class=\"single-card-nav\"><\/div><button class=\"hsliderForward horizontal-sliderbutton\" aria-label=\"next slide\">\u276f<\/button><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">PRESENTERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"210\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/wisconsin-forestry-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/Curzon-Headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2344\" style=\"width:250px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miranda Thomas Curzon, Ph.D.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Associate Professor of Silviculture and Applied Forest Ecology, Iowa State University<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Miranda Thomas Curzon is an Associate Professor in the Natural Resource Ecology and Management Department at Iowa State University.\u00a0She holds a M.S. from the University of Vermont and a Ph.D. in from the University of Minnesota.\u00a0Her research addresses many topics in silviculture relevant to the northern forest of the U.S. and Canada and forests across the Central Hardwood Forest Region with a focus on climate adaptation and ecological silviculture.
