We would like to invite you to participate in a virtual climate change adaptation workshop for partners working on the ecology and management of dry-mesic forests in the Driftless Area of Iowa, Minnesota, & Wisconsin, to be held virtually on July 20, 21, & 22, 2021. There will also be a field tour on June 29 where we will visit some of the treatment site locations. The workshop is part of a project titled the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) Network, which is a collaborative effort between managers and scientists working to establish a series of experimental trials across a network of diverse forest ecosystem types throughout North America. Each trial is focused on understanding and evaluating management options designed to enable forests to respond to a changing climate. Site-specific treatments are developed according to local conditions and tailored to meet site-specific management objectives, while at the same time aligning under a common framework for addressing questions about how different forest types will respond to future climate.
