Webinar summary: Important findings for managers [Chapter 2]

Abstract

This chapter summarizes key findings and offers take-home messages of the Future Forest Webinar Series with regard to resource management planning, analyses, and project design. In the wake of the mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic, resource managers are especially concerned with developing more resilient forests, providing for the sustainability of wildlife and fish habitat, public safety, and managing our water resources. We attempted to provide information to support these management goals via the series of webinars. More details on the findings of each webinar are presented in the subsequent chapters of these proceedings.
