Climate Adaptive Forest Management is a component of the Online Graduate Certificate in Advanced Silviculture for the Practicing Forester. In this course, we will apply climate science and adaptive silviculture strategies to real-world forest management scenarios. This course will help foster your skills in evaluating and applying climate adaptation principles within a forest management context and communicating a range of climate change impacts and adaptation responses with diverse audiences.
Textbooks and Course Materials:
We will have required readings that will typically be posted on Canvas. There will be exceptions where students are expected to find the resources online. Further, there are a number of videos which will either be posted to Canvas or are linked in the descriptions.
There are substantial supplementary texts and videos available in each module. These are intended to help reinforce ideas and provide additional context to the core ideas presented. As the name suggests these are supplemental in that they are not required reading but will certainly be worth the time investment..
F 325 (Silviculture); Bachelor's degree required.
