California Reforestation Dialogues and Symposium
Within the past decade, the state’s forests have experienced drastic changes due to destructive and severe wildfires, a 1,000-year drought, and the associated stressors that come with a changing climate. With a detailed understanding of the marked pace of change conditions, this symposium was focused around issues related to reforestation strategies and practices to increase the adaptive capacity of tomorrow’s forests. This event provided a forum where experts and managers could share results, advancements, and experiences related to reforestation to help frame these important future forest management actions.
