Clemson Climate Initiatives
Dedicated to integrating innovative climate solutions with our community’s core values, our initiatives aim to create a sustainable future for all.
Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) is a new terminology for forestry management that meshes traditional practices with practices that address climate change realities. The approach has helped forest landowners realize that traditional forestry practices that encourage revenue also can encourage climate change adaptation and mitigation.
