Dept of Defense: Fall 2020 Newsletter

The Fall 2020 issue of Natural Selections is here!

In this issue, we focus on resilient military installations across the country. This newsletter recognizes the substantial efforts that installations and DoD programs have made to become more resilient in the face of changing climatic conditions and increased extreme weather events. Adapting to these changes will allow installations to maintain military readiness and mitigate detrimental impacts to infrastructure and training resources while using lands in a more sustainable manner.
