Workshop Details
Date: October 8-9, 2015
Location: Alumni Center, Parking Lot 8, College Town Drive, Sacramento State University [Campus map]
Contact: Debra Schlafmann
Goals:
This workshop is part of the Central Valley Landscape Conservation Project, and will accomplish the following:

  • Assess the vulnerability to climate change of a suite of stakeholder-identified priority natural resources, with the intention of subsequently (in future workshops) developing adaptation strategies for these resources and addressing key management questions of our partners.
  • Provide vulnerability assessment training, resources, support, and tools to participants to extend this process to similar efforts in their own work.
