Whole Farm Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Planning (CAMP) Series

January 13 - February 12, 2026


Please join Ulster County CCE and CCE Harvest New York for a three-part workshop series focused on building climate resilience on your farm. We will cover climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, learn how to access relevant historical climate data, and begin a climate adaptation plan for your farm. By the end of the series, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to identify vulnerabilities in their operations, determine which strategies best address the issue, and secure funding to support project implementation. Attendees should bring a laptop or tablet to participate in the lab portion of each workshop.

January 13 (Tues), 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM -- Climate Adaptation and Mitigation
We will explore regional climate trends and introduce the concepts of adaptation and mitigation for farms. Lab will focus on identifying historical climate data relevant to your operation, developing web-based maps to improve recordkeeping, and exploring other useful tools as time allows.

January 29 (Thurs), 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM -- Practice Implementation, Identifying Grant Opportunities, and Disaster Preparedness
Lecture portion will focus on how to determine which conservation practices (agroforestry, cover cropping, biochar, etc.) are appropriate for your farm. We will also discuss grant programs available in our region and review resources for preparing a disaster preparedness plan. Lab will focus on introducing and briefly exploring tools like the Cover Crop Selector Tool, Biochar Suitability Tool, and COMET-Farm.

February 12 (Thurs), 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM -- Building Your Whole-Farm Climate Resilience Plan
In our final session, we will put together the resources reviewed in previous sessions to begin a whole-farm adaptation plan. Participants will be introduced to various planning tools, including the Five Steps to Your Regenerative Climate Resilience Plan Workbook, the USDA's Climate Adaptation Workbook, and Penn State's Ready AG Disaster Preparedness Workbook.

If cost is prohibitive, limited scholarships are available - please reach out to klb339@cornell.edu to book a spot. NOTE: If inclement weather/snow, program will move to Zoom.
