The climate is changing and bringing more uncertainty to the future conditions of forests. As a landowner, you can make decisions to reduce the vulnerabilities and advance the resilience of your woods.
12 Steps to Climate Resilience: Managing Your Forest With Climate Change In Mind provides recommendations for making forest lands more resilient to changing climate conditions. Please note: this guide was developed for the Northeast, and Vermont in particular, and while the general principals may apply to forests across the US, landowners should seek local advice from a professional with knowledge about the forests in their region and the current and anticipated climate impacts.
