Climate change is happening now with some of us already experiencing the impacts. We are all facing uncertainties as forests and ecosystems are changing due to climate change. In the face of these challenges, we have developed an instructional course focused on assessing and adapting the management of woodlots to projected climate change impacts.

We hope that through participation, landowners and forest practitioners will further develop their knowledge of potential impacts and adaptations to the unique challenges of climate change. By doing so we can work towards creating resiliency on the landscape and in society to face future uncertainties and disturbances.

The Ontario Woodlot Association and our partners at the Climate Risk Institute are proud to deliver this educational opportunity to OWA members and the public.

Course Information

The session runs for 8 weeks from January 20th to March 14th. This course is delivered online through pre-recorded learning modules. Over the 8 weeks we will investigate topics such as forest genetics, hydrology, and invasive species. As you work your way through the course you will be using a workbook, online tools, readings, videos and optional live check-in sessions with the Facilitators to support the process of assessing climate change impacts in your region. You will learn about adaptation actions and select ones for your woodlot (or a provided “mock woodlot”) based on objectives, your abilities and the best practices for the landscape. Upon course completion, participants will have tangible strategies for adaptation actions unique to the forests that we steward.
