We will present an overview of the Petawawa Research Forest's Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) research study. Details will be provided on the research protocols, the challenges and opportunities of developing an ASCC research site and highlight the enthusiasm shown for the study by the forestry community.

Learning Objectives:

prepare for the climate risks facing their forests.
determine which tools they need to prepare their forests for climate change.
recognize the opportunities and challenges which a changing climate places upon forests.
conceptualize how the climate will change through time and what that means for a planning a forest and managing that forest through time.
