 Americans who like to play outdoors may soon find that climate change-induced warming trends around the nation will put some of their favorite recreational retreats in jeopardy—from trout streams to waterfowl preserves, from ski areas to mountain biking trails, and from beaches to forested parkland. His presentation will highlight the potential consequences and costs of the stresses climate change will put on water resources, which could result in reduced mountain snowpack levels, increased drought conditions across public lands, decreased waterflows into streams, reservoirs, and wetlands, and forests weakened against fire and insect infestations.

Daniel Morris is a Research Assistant at Resources for the Future. He works on many parts of RFF's Climate Program, primarily researching potential climate change adaptation policies.

Full buffet lunch fee of $17.00, salad bar only fee of $12, payable to the NCSAF treasurer at the door.
