Attached is a one-page overview of the fisher recovery and management planning initiative.

Why are these sessions being offered?
The fall 2022 online sessions build on a series of five webinars held in 2021-22 that created a framework for fisher recovery within the context of supporting forest ecosystem resilience. The next two online sessions offer opportunities to discuss ongoing work that is helping to create draft scenarios that integrate options for fisher recovery with best available information on forest biodiversity and impacts of climate change.
What are the agendas for these two meetings?
Proposed agendas are attached to this meeting invitation.
Have specific questions that you would like discussed?
After reviewing the agenda and background documents for the Oct 14th session, if you have questions or comments, then please email them to [email protected] by Friday, September 30th.
