Climate Change Risk Assessment

July 9, 2025/in News

In autumn 2024, the CCF contracted Frontera Forest Solutions to complete a climate change risk assessment for the CCF tenure focused on wildfire and drought risk, the biggest direct climate change risks.

Climate Change Risk Assessment

The risk assessment answers the following questions:

  1. How will climate change impact the CCF? What are the risks of these impacts?
  2. Where on the landscape are these risks likely to occur?
  3. What are the levels of risk across the landscape?

The framework for this was inspired by work completed by Erik Leslie, RPF, and the Harrop Proctor Community Co-op’s “Climate Change Adaptation Project”. The CCF climate change risk assessment is intended to provide the analysis needed to develop a strategic operations and silvicultural framework addressing those risks with the goal of creating a diverse, resilient forest for the future.

The operations plan will be developed through the summer/fall of 2025. The CCF will bring the draft plan to the public for input in late summer.
