Connect scientists, educators, resource managers and community members to expand our understanding of berries in a changing world.
Provide information about how important berries will respond/are responding to climate change to resource managers, policy makers, berry eaters and educators.
Work with researchers and community members to identify information needs and knowledge gaps.
Promote active research and spread citizen science projects, providing opportunities to students and others to monitor berries and contribute to science
Enhance understanding of berry ecology.

The Alaska Berry Futures Project produced:
Berry booklets for community members and resource managers. These are accessible, illustrated descriptions of each species, the threats it faces from climate change, and the opportunities for increasing berry production. Each booklet also includes a summary of knowledge gaps for current and future berry researchers. We hope this will serve as inspiration for future research projects.
A Zotero literature database for researchers that underlies all our other documents and can be filtered by tags. Want to access an awesome database with lots of references (with emphasis on cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), bog blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum), lowbush cranberry (V. vitis-idaea), crowberry (Empetrum nigrum), or salmonberry (R. spectabilis) )?
