Statewide webinar for the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy with Katie Spellman and Christa Mulder. People throughout Alaska have noticed a range of changes in their beloved berry species, from changing in the timing and abundance of the berries to changes in insect and pathogen damage to changes in the habitat of their berry patches. In this webinar we describe our efforts to compile the data and research on how climate change could or is impacting our berry species and the innovative ideas that Alaskans and other are coming up with to help adapt to the changes. What can your community do to ensure healthy local berries for future generations? August 2024
