As Minnesota’s climate changes, forests will face pressures from tree diseases and pests, heavier and more frequent rainfalls, warmer temperatures, and prolonged drought. Join Extension Educators to learn about how you can foster a healthy, resilient woodland by adding species that are predicted to adapt well to these changes. You'll also learn how to promote benefits for charismatic microfauna (pollinators, other insects, bats, etc.) in addition to climate resilience on woodlands of all sizes.
