Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals
Towards Sustainability: Developing a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan
Virtual Training
From warmer and wetter winters in the South and Midwest to more intense droughts in the Southwest, the effects of climate change are a daily reality for outdoor recreation managers. This 4-part series explores how land managers, communities, nonprofits, and policy makers are proactively designing and communicating in anticipation of more severe weather and responding to events such as wildfires and floods in a collaborative way.
The Huron-Clinton Metroparks introduced their inaugural Climate Action Plan in 2023, focused on addressing regional needs within park boundaries and neighboring communities. Seeking input from employees, residents, and partners ensured alignment with regional concerns and interests. While acknowledging the complexity of climate challenges, the Metroparks are committed to mitigating their impact in southeastern Michigan and beyond. Join us to delve into the methodologies behind crafting the plan and to examine successes and challenges encountered in its first year. Through insightful discussions and case studies, attendees will glean valuable insights, empowering them to initiate their own climate action endeavors.

Jennifer Jaworski - Chief of Interpretive Services, Huron-Clinton Metroparks
