First Friday All Climate Change Talks (FFACCTs)
The Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center hosts First Friday All Climate Change Talks (FFACCTs), monthly information sharing forums featuring presentations about research activities focused on climate change impacts to eastern forest ecosystems. Scientists from the USDA Forest Service Northern and Southern Research Stations participate in the 1 1/2 hour conference call on the first Friday of every month. While these calls are research focused, participants internal and external to the Forest Service are encouraged to join the discussion.
View the FFACCTs flyer for details. To join the FFACCTs meeting and for additional information, please contact Perdita Spriggs, (828) 230-3292 or pspriggs@fs.fed.us.
