Webinar information

Recreation is a primary means through which people in the United States interact with forests, water, rangelands, and other natural resources. This webinar will review results from the Outdoor Recreation and Wilderness Chapter of the 2020 RPA Assessment, summarizing the current supply of outdoor recreation opportunities and recent patterns in the use of these supplies, as well as projected future patterns in outdoor recreation supply and use to 2070 under a range of future RPA scenarios that integrate socioeconomic and climatic change. We will then hear how information about current and future recreation is valuable for assessments, planning, and policy-making across the Forest Service and helps the agency manage resources in ways that meet the needs of present and future generations.

Is this technical session for you?

This webinar is intended for land managers, scientists, and policy makers—anyone interested in understanding how outdoor recreation in the U.S. has been changing over time and how it is likely to continue to change in the future. Anyone with responsibility for evaluating or managing outdoor recreation would benefit by learning more about ongoing trends and potential futures.

Webinar information

At global, regional, and local scales declines in wildlife and aquatic biodiversity have been documented across taxonomic groups. Habitat fragmentation from a variety of mechanisms (particularly linked to anthropogenic land uses) has modified ecosystems leading to reduced habitat quality, quantity, and connectivity in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Tracking patterns in biodiversity, therefore, is key to informing management regarding places vulnerable to current and emerging threats. This webinar will review results from the Biodiversity Chapter of the 2020 RPA Assessment, presenting current patterns of biodiversity in wildlife and aquatic biota, as well as the identification of areas of possible future vulnerability in response to changes in anthropogenic land uses and climate. To highlight the value of the RPA approaches, we will learn about a landscape-scale restoration initiative to improve resiliency in freshwater ecosystems in the southern United States.

Is this webinar for you?

This webinar is intended for land managers, scientists, and policy makers—anyone interested in understanding how wildlife and aquatic biodiversity is distributed in the U.S. and how they are likely to be vulnerable to anthropogenic land uses and climate in the future. Anyone with responsibility for evaluating or managing biodiversity would benefit by learning more about ongoing taxonomic patterns and potential future risk.
