How do forests adapt to a warming climate? A long-term study testing different adaptation strategies in Crosby Farm Regional Park was recently highlighted on CBS Minnesota News. The site is part of the Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change (ASCC) Network, a series of experiments across the US investigating how best to support forest health and resilience under the stressors caused by a rapidly changing climate.
Following an active summer of lightning-ignited wildfires across northern Minnesota and Canada, Forest Resources Researchers Lee Frelich and Sam Reed joined WTIP North Shore Community Radio to discuss the historical context behind these events and what they mean for the future of forest management.
University of Minnesota President Rebecca Cunningham and Executive Vice President and Provost Gretchen Ritter joined CFANS Interim Dean Linda Nagel and College leaders to visit the CFANS exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair on Friday, August 28.
During the fair, the Department of Forest Resources highlighted the importance of natural resource management through the CFANS Pop-Up Learning booth with Park Boss: the 60-second Ranger Challenge. Fairgoers spun the wheel to step into a ranger role, solving real-world recreation management scenarios under a 60-second clock.
