California’s largest landscape, shrublands and chaparral cover 31% of California, from the coastal sage stands along the Pacific Ocean to the deserts bordering Nevada and Arizona. Shrublands and chaparral provide carbon, biodiversity, water, and recreation benefits, but are severally threatened by too-frequent wildfire and other disturbances. Implementing of NBS in this land type can avoid catastrophic wildfire and ensure shrublands and chaparral continue to deliver benefits into the future.

Join us on August 28 in Calabasas, California for a Shrublands and Chaparral Nature-Based Solutions summit. In this summit, we will honor leadership and successes to-date, increase connectivity among partners, and explore solutions to critical challenges in scaling nature-based solutions for a Shrublands and Chaparral.
