The Manzanita Band of the Kumeyaay Nation is moving forward with a vision to protect and conserve the lands under their stewardship. The Climate Science Alliance team is honored to take part and support the Tribe in creating the Manzanita Tribal Resilience Project – one part of a larger effort to address climate impacts and build resilience into the future.

The Manzanita Climate Resilience Project was created to explore the integration of climate change scenarios with natural resources, specifically ‘snyaaw (Quercus agrifolia, or Coast Live Oak), as a central focus. This effort is focused on informing decision-making that sustains cultural and traditional resources and practices and increases flexibility in how services and programs are managed.
