Description

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest has several adaptation demonstrations underway, with the goal of having one demonstration project on each of its five Districts. Each demonstration is unique, providing examples across a variety of spatial scales, forest types, and management issues. Likewise, a variety of adaptation demonstrations have also been established in northern Wisconsin across state, tribal, and private lands.

Each demonstration uses the adaptation process outlined in Forest Adaptation Resources: Climate Change Tools and Approaches for Land Managers. The project featured in this video evaluated the potential effects of a changing climate on two aspen stands on the National Forest.
