This project will be implemented through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum as a way to create a learning network through which partners can share information about emerging practices and strategies for integrating [...]

We propose to expand the collaborative, landscape-scale, climate change planning initiated last year to increase management application in the Rocky Mountain region. We will assess and build upon the results of the previous year’s work on climate change adaptation planning for cold-water fish and their habitats by either providing further assistance for implementation, or repeating the planning process for another natural resource priority conservation target (depending on the needs and interests of the partners involved). This project will be implemented through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum as a way to create a learning network through which partners can share information about emerging practices and strategies for integrating climate change into natural resource management decisions in the region. In addition to fostering the participation and assessing the needs of current members of the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum, we will also work to increase the engagement of less well-represented partners (e.g., tribes, Canadian agencies and organizations, state agencies, and organizations involved in private land protection and stewardship).
