Step 3: EVALUATE management objectives given projected impacts and vulnerabilities.
Key Question: What management challenges or
opportunities might occur? Can current management meet
management goals? Do goals need to change?
![Page 4: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ... See Step 4 Course Materials for a](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022013/5b2cecb87f8b9adc6e8b840b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Challenges to Meeting Management Objective with Climate Change – Things that will make it harder to achieve the management objective due to climate change.
Opportunities to Meeting Management Objective with Climate Change – Things that will make it easier to achieve the management objective due to climate change.
Step 3: EVALUATE management objectives given projected impacts and vulnerabilities.

FSI - Ash Mitigation ProjectForest stand improvement with a focus on ash mitigation to reduce potential damage for emerald ash borer.
Challenges:The ability to maintain species diversity with the loss of ash and hemlock species and the potential for the creation of a red maple monoculture.
Opportunities:Possibly the shift from northern species to southern species could increase diversity for the short term but long term we will end up with a less diverse forest.

Hill-Robert Forest Management Plan and Timber SaleVermont Land Trust owns a 72-acre parcel, Planning a timber harvest in the next year and upgrade to the forest management plan using the Adaptation Workbook
Challenges:Lower growing season precipitation, more frequent heavy rain events, shorter winters, and increased stress on forested systems will all present us with challenges. Getting adequate regeneration and growing those into poles and trees. We will have to be even more vigilant about erosion controls and post-harvest close out.
Opportunities:A more temperate climate may make it more desirable for recreation, (although Vermonters do like their winter recreation, so it may be a wash.) More dieback and mortality will make coarse wood, snag, and cavity recruitment easier, if we can get the trees to grow to appropriate sizes.

Paul Smiths College Woodlands, Creighton CompartmentOne compartment within the 12,000 acre Paul Smiths College ownership. Writing a few property management plan to consider climate change. Educational goals to involve students in forest inventory and silvicultural recommendations
Challenges:Access to the property for management operations based on weather (mild winters and severe rain events in the summer).
Opportunities:There may be some early season maple sugaring opportunities. Any wildlife work that is done to benefit migrant songbirds will likely attract new species as migration patterns change. Also there may be opportunities for students to study what benefits the climate change adaptation management is having.

Tighe Carmody Watershed Timber Harvest Project - Western ShoreCity of Holyoke's watershed focusing on the management of a portion of the watershed on the western shore of the main reservoir. Upcoming timber sale with concerns about soil stability during and post harvest, drainage crossings, timing of harvest, bridge stabilization over the main feeder into the City's water supply.
Challenges:Increased volume and frequency of rain storms, warmer winters with more rain, and lack of frozen ground. The protection of water quality is most challenging objective given climate change because we will have to consideration harvest design and engineering, extended schedule for the harvest if winters prove too warm.
Opportunities:Warmer temperatures and longer growing benefit overall tree health.

Tannery Road Timber SaleTimber sale using uneven- and even-aged techniques. The mixed northern hardwoods currently occupy ~82 ac, and a series of small Norway spruce plantations comprise another ~19 acres.
Challenges: The unknowns associated with shifts in species compositions and
weather events.
Opportunities: The removal of off-site Norway spruce plantations may accelerate. The
ability to expedite removals through clearcutting and larger scale harvests is limited, but these limitations do not extend to salvage activities.

MacDonald Lot Management Plan Update90-acre property owned by University of New Hampshire. Currently updating the Management Plan for this property (previous plan completed in 2004).
Challenges: Most challenging climate impacts: expanded invasive species, increasing
storm frequency/intensity, changing freeze-thaw conditions, changing water supply/dynamics
Most challenging vulnerabilities: lack of diversity, existing prevalence of invasive species
Opportunities: Most of the climate impacts will generally support the management
goals related to education and research opportunities.

Bristol LotA 42-acre management proposal to demonstrate a two-age silvicultural system (shelterwood with reserves) and sustain regeneration of oak species through the use of prescribed fire. Central hardwood-pine type.
Challenges:Increase risk of moisture deficit and drought during the growing season. Low diversity systems are at greater risk. Insect pests and invasive species could be more problematic. Milder winters may reduce frozen conditions for harvesting equipment.
Opportunities: Plant blight resistant chestnuts, which are that are more resistant to
insect pests. Insect pests may to some degree increase the structural diversity if the
outbreaks are small and scattered. A milder winter may allow early season or late season Rx burns to occur.

Forest Buffers in the Exeter-Squamscott (ForBES)Evaluating a subwatershed of the Squamscott-Exeter watershed to determine appropriate watershed:buffer forest requirements to protect ecosystem services, design and placement of forests in both landscape and buffers, and management practices that conserve, restore and adapt to damaged or changing forest ecosystems that ensure water and habitat quality goals are attained.
Challenges:Human obduracy to change combined with the inevitability of climate change impacts.
Opportunities:Some climate change impacts may change attitudes and open the door to better conservation and management efforts that will build resilience and better sustain ecosystem services with good outcomes for environmental quality.

Closed Canopy Forest (Prudence Island, RI)Preserved properties under ownership by three agencies covering 350 acres. Issues include invasives shrubs and vines. Effort will inform restoration component of revised forest management plan. Central hardwood-pine and lowland forest.
Challenges: Warmer temperatures & more frequent short-term drought during the
growing season. Increased stress and mortality from forest pest species. Groundwater levels would also decline, leading to more tree stress, forest
pest impacts, and then invasive species as the forest canopy cover is lost (and so on in a vicious circle). Also: effects on drinking water supply
Opportunities: Modest opportunities generally relate to strengthening the argument for
management now as opposed to later
![Page 21: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ... See Step 4 Course Materials for a](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022013/5b2cecb87f8b9adc6e8b840b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
NorthWoods Stewardship Center~1,473 acre forest used for conduct timber and habitat management, recreational trails, and education. Revisit 2015 management plan and also consider ~16-acre Norway Spruce plantation.
Challenges: Species decline/shifts could impact management strategies that currently
favor northern species- balsam fir, sugar maple, yellow birch, etc. Invasive plant/pathogen species -- have not yet been hit with EAB, HWA, etc Increased storm intensity and/or storm "weirdness" (such as early/late
winter ice storms) could also cause damage to growing stock.
Opportunities: Increasing forest diversity with more southern species is intriguing- some
species (oaks, walnut, hickories, etc) have great value for wildlife and as timber trees.
Increased productivity from a longer growing season could also be economically beneficial, but may not be significant at our small scale.

Moosehorn Road Quabbin Watershed Management ProjectForest management of drinking water reservoir's watershed. Maintain a resistant and resilient forest associated with the ecosystem services which protect the water quality of the reservoir. Diversify species and age structure,promote healthy vigorous growth.
Challenges:Decline of hemlock, general lack of diverse regeneration, and general lack of species diversity and structural diversity.
Opportunities: Red oak and hickories may do better, which could increase species diversity. Increase in growth rate of the adapted species would increase productivity
and could improve forest health and vigor. • If so, could lead to higher seed production and quicker seedling
establishment. • Might also lead to lessened browsing impact, although likely temporary as
herbivore population would increase with increased food supply.

Adaptation actions may not look that different from current management actions, especially in the near term.
Same actions–climate change
just makes them that much more
important
Small “tweaks” that improve effectiveness
New & different actions to consider, even some that may seem wild & crazy
*individual results will vary
![Page 36: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ...

Step 4: IDENTIFY adaptation approaches and tactics for implementation.
Key Question: What actions can enhance the ability
of the project area to adapt to anticipated changes and meet management goals?
![Page 37: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ... See Step 4 Course Materials for a](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022013/5b2cecb87f8b9adc6e8b840b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Approach – Select from the menu. Pick any that seem to make sense and help address the challenges.
Tactic – Describe a specific action you can take.
These details should ideally answer what, where, and how you will implement the actions.
Step 4: IDENTIFY adaptation approaches and tactics for implementation.
Approaches Tactics
![Page 38: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ... See Step 4 Course Materials for a](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022013/5b2cecb87f8b9adc6e8b840b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Timeframe – Specify when you will implement the tactic.
For example: • Summer 2016• Winter 2016-7• Within 3 years of…• After…• If… then…
Step 4: IDENTIFY adaptation approaches and tactics for implementation.
![Page 39: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ... See Step 4 Course Materials for a](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022013/5b2cecb87f8b9adc6e8b840b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Benefits – Describe why the tactic is good.
For example: • addresses biggest or multiple challenges• is cheap and easy• has co-benefits• is likely to succeed
Step 4: IDENTIFY adaptation approaches and tactics for implementation.
![Page 40: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ...

Drawbacks and Barriers – Describe why it’s not so good.
For example: • it may have negative side effects, • Requires high cost or effort• may not be successful• has social, financial, or other barriers
Step 4: IDENTIFY adaptation approaches and tactics for implementation.
![Page 41: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ...

Practicability – Is it both effective (will meet desired intent) and feasible (capable of being implemented)?
• High: Yes to both!
• Moderate: Yeah, but it will take some additional effort or planning…
• Low: No, the barriers/drawbacks seem too big or the benefits too small.
Step 4: IDENTIFY adaptation approaches and tactics for implementation.
![Page 42: Session 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, … 4: Identifying Adaptation Strategies, Approaches and ... plan using the Adaptation Workbook. ...

Selective thinning.
Every 20-30 years
Providing timber (economic benefit). Increases light on the ground to promote an herbaceous layer. Helps reduce the
risk of pest/pathogen outbreaks by reducing density.
This area has low accessibility for logging operations. Topography limits
where logging can occur. Opens up the stand
for adverse human use. Too much light can
shock some of the timber and cause epicormic sprouting
