How the movement started

 Rami

SLIDE 15

Ecosystem-based community forestry

 Explicitly manage for

community values

 Internalize the ‘externalities’

 Precautionary approach  Work with natural cycles

slide-16
SLIDE 16

HPCC Management Plan objectives

#1: minimize the impacts of roads and timber

harvesting on hydrology and water quality;

 maintain and enhance forest structural diversity;  improve community wildfire protection;  maintain sustainable timber harvest rates, while

considering ecosystem resilience and climate change projections;

 etc.

Narrows and Duhamel

Similarities Differences

 Community watersheds  Wildland-urban interface  Similar terrain  Old growth/ biodiversity

values

 Roads/ logging history  North vs. south aspects  Focal wildlife species  Community uses

Site-level practices

 Low risk approach to

water—reserves, access

 Wide range of retention  Experimentation

Climate change adaptation project

 Analyze risks

 Drought, wildfire,

hydrology

 Specific strategies

 Fuel breaks  Harvest methods  Regeneration methods

 Community discussion  Regional outreach

 CBT funding

Key values: water, biodiversity, infrastructure, timber/ jobs

Significant changes over past 30 years

SLIDE 41

Climate models: simplified summary

Over the next 30 to 50 years:

 Fall/ winter/ spring 2 - 5 warmer and 10 - 25%

wetter

 Summers 3 - 7 warmer and up to 30% drier  ~5 to 50 times more average annual area burned  Increased frequency and magnitude of extreme

precipitation events Good enough to get started…
