Developing scientific information that is used in policy and practice has been a longstanding challenge in many sectors and disciplines, including climate change adaptation for natural resource management. One approach to address this problem encourages scientists and decision-makers to co-produce usable information collaboratively. Researchers have proposed general principles for climate science co-production, yet few studies have applied and evaluated these principles in practice. In this study, climate change researchers and natural resource managers co-produced climate-related knowledge that was directly relevant for on-going habitat management planning. We documented our methods and assessed how and to what...

In April 2020, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) held a workshop where WGFD managers could learn about the latest science on recent and future climate changes, and discuss the consequences of those changes for aquatic and terrestrial habitat management in the State. Focused on river, riparian, and wetland ecosystems, the workshop was designed to help managers consider the ways in which those habitats might be impacted by a changing climate, which types of watersheds and Wildlife Management Areas might be most vulnerable to climate change, and what management actions would be important to helping fish, wildlife, and plants cope with those impacts. Ultimately, results from the workshop were intended to inform...
