Department of Forestry Forest Carbon and Climate Program

The Open Resource Library (FCCP ORL) is an online space dedicated to sharing educational outputs from our for-credit and non-credit course offerings to a wide audience of practitioners, educators, and members of the public. The primary goal of the FCCP ORL is to increase access to educational imagery, tools, and content regarding topics of forests and climate. This resource will be continuously updated to ensure visitors have access to up-to-date and relevant content from the FCCP. 

Current resources include: 

• Open Resource Images - a collection of graphics that are available for use by interested parties with attribution
• Tree Measurement Video Series - a collection of free educational videos demonstrating various tree measurements and how to convert these field measurements into carbon measurements
• Spanish Resources/Recursos en Español - Este espacio en línea está dedicado a compartir productos y contenidos educativos sobre temas relacionados con los bosques y el clima
