This year’s CAMNet meeting emphasizes emergent, place-based approaches to natural resources management. To this end, New England with its history of local governance, private lands and the open commons of fisheries offers a very different context within which to view the practice and the potential of collaboration adaptive management.

This year’s CAMNet meeting emphasizes emergent, place-based approaches to natural resources management. To this end, New England with its history of local governance, private lands and the open commons of fisheries offers a very different context within which to view the practice and the potential of collaboration adaptive management. This year’s meeting is focused on adaptive governance – the decision making context required for effective response to change, and will feature panels on innovative approaches to management of three resource types: fisheries, forestry, and climate change action.

April 16th: registration, opening remarks from CAMNet and Rendezvous organizers, a welcome from a local official, a keynote address, updates from programs applying collaborative adaptive management across North America, and a group dinner.

April 17th: dialogue with the City of Keene, NH and Cool Monadnock, two of the most progressive efforts at climate action planning nationally; with fishermen and community representatives from the Maine lobster fishery and other New England fisheries; and with panelists involved with Community Forests in New England and the regional Quabbin to Cardigan Partnership.
