A new paper has just been published by our CLN leaders Leslie Boby, Mark Megalos and Bill Hubbard along with lead author Hilary Morris that explores the attitudes of southern forestry professionals on climate change. The paper entitled “Climate Change Attitudes of Southern Forestry Professionals: Outreach Implications” is designed to to enhance educators’ understanding of foresters’ climate change attitudes. The paper was published in the September 2016 issue of the journal of forestry and is available for download here. Interestingly, the results of this study suggest that demographic characteristics of foresters shape climate change attitudes in ways comparable to those for the general public. This will provide useful insight in designing training materials for this audience.
