CA Landscape Conservation Cooperative Teams
Teams are part of the way CA LCC addresses priority topics. The CA LCC Charter provides information about team membership, roles, and responsibilities. Currently, CA LCC has two teams: Science-Manager Team, and Tribal Team. Details for each Team are below:
Science-Management Team
The CA LCC convened a diverse team of about 20 managers and scientists to guide the CA LCCs' scientific support for natural resource managers to incorporate climate-smart conservation strategies into their management actions. Through the guidance of the Science-Management Team, the CA LCC developed a 5-year Science-Management Framework. This team will assists in the development of projects, workshops and trainings.

This Team guided the development of Tribal Climate Adaptation and TEK workshops. In the future, the Tribal Team will guide potential Tribal specific CA LCC projects and integrate Tribal representation on to the CA LCC Steering Committee.
