This program has built a collaborative space and framework from which to launch research, partnerships, workshops, and projects focusing on vegetation, plants, and resilience to climate change.</p><p>The Prioritization, Adaptation, and Resilience for Climate (PARC) toolkit is a public web tool created for the DCRI that focuses on promoting resilience and identifying needs for promoting outdoor equity within the Coachella Valley. We have compiled existing data on native plant species, ecosystem dynamics, and carbon storage in a science-based tool that will: 1) Provide decision support for sustainable land management with an understanding of capacity and ability to enhance community climate resilience to prioritize land acquisitions, 2) Inform the public on the current distribution of carbon stocks within the region and ways that native plant diversity may change in the future, and 3) Promote equity and access through the inclusion of trails and other recreational access areas, as well as culturally important plants to the local indigenous community. Join this session to learn about the work that went into creating this web tool and to explore ways to navigate the PARC Toolkit.</p></span></span></div><span class="gmail-kma42e"><span><p><i>Danelle Angeline Baronia is a Field Biologist and the Outreach and Engagement Lead at the University of California, Riverside’s Center for Conservation Biology Sweet Lab.
