Climate Resilience
Conservationists are instrumental in helping landowners build landscapes to withstand the changing climate.
We have pulled together a new County Climate Hub to compile relevant resources curated for county conservation members. Visit the hub to find reports, planning tools, partners, adaptation and mitigation strategies.
We will continue to add resources most relevant to our conservation members. Let us know if you have a resource or story to share!
Check out this new publication to showcase Monroe County's efforts to mitigate climate impacts through conservation.
This county profile is meant to serve as a template for our members to share conservation as a climate solution through their county. Contact Christina Anderson if you are interested in a custom flyer for your county.
New Publication
We partnered with The Nature Conservancy, American Farmland Trust, and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture to produce this new handout: The Value of Actively Managing Your Corn & Soy Farm's Climate Footprint. A great resource to better understand emission pathways and management opportunities to support the Paris Accord goals of reducing emissions by 45% by 2030.
