    Course goals:

    • ​Understand a step-by-step process for considering climate change and carbon in land stewardship and management.

    • ​Identify locally important climate change impacts and vulnerabilities.

    • ​Develop management actions to help your project or natural area adapt to changing conditions.

    • ​Communicate with stakeholders and rights holders about climate impacts and adaptation responses.
