Contribution: Northern Science and Technology Program

Teslin Tlingit Council

$378,156.00

Win:win solutions for climate change adaptation in Yukon

FY 2023-24 · 2023-06-13

Summary
We propose new research on forest management near Teslin, Yukon to design and test timber harvest and revegetation treatments to direct trajectories of forest recovery from disturbance towards desirable ecological outcomes that support community resilience and well-being. Teslin is at an ideal stage to serve as a model system for community adaptation to climate change and fire risk in northern boreal forests, and the learning that results from this project will be of great value to other northern communities facing similar challenges

Description (French)
Nous proposons de nouvelles recherches sur la gestion forestière près de Teslin, au Yukon, afin de concevoir et de mettre à l’essai des traitements de récolte du bois et de remise en végétation pour orienter le rétablissement de la forêt après une perturbation, et ce, pour obtenir des résultats écologiques souhaitables qui soutiennent la résilience et le mieux-être de la communauté. Teslin se trouve à une étape idéale pour servir de modèle d’adaptation communautaire au changement climatique et au risque d’incendie dans les forêts boréales septentrionales, et les enseignements tirés de ce projet seront très utiles à d’autres communautés nordiques confrontées à des défis similaires.
