Reflection/Evaluation
The slide shows for this webinar are attached to this report. There are also a chat and another chart. The slide show by Sarah is especially interesting in terms of how western US forests are being impacted by climate change. Again, some of this might be over my head, but every little bit of education helps me understand the importance of working with federal agencies and collaboratives to deal with climate change issues.
