2026 South Central Climate Resilience Forum (SCCRF)
2026-04-15 - 2026-04-17
We are excited to announce that the 2026 South Central Climate Resilience Forum (SCCRF) will be held from April 15th-17th, 2026, in San Antonio, TX. Building on the momentum from the 2024 SCCRF, the Forum is focused on fostering meaningful dialogue on climate resilience and adaptation across Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. It will bring together representatives from non-profit organizations, all levels of government, Tribal Nations, community groups, the private sector, and academia from across the region. The goals of the event are to improve understanding of the climate-related challenges facing the region and increase awareness of work being done to enhance the resilience of the region. The program will include presentations, symposiums, and workshops about resources, research, tools, knowledge, and experiences relating to climate resilience and opportunities for information exchange and networking.
More is happening than one might think! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to hear about and/or demonstrate how your community or state is building resilience to climate-related challenges.
The Call for Presentations is coming soon, and registration opens later this year. Sponsorship opportunities are available now!
Please share with anyone you think may be interested, and we can’t wait to see you in San Antonio in 2026!
On behalf of the 2026 SCCRF Planning Committee

Stream Channel Assessment Training
2026-10-14 - 2026-10-15 | Fort Sill Apache Tribal Complex
Grab your muck boots and join us at the Fort Sill Apache Tribe on October 14 -15, 2026, for Stream Channel Assessment Training.
What is a stream channel assessment? It is a method to assess physical parameters of the stream, such as the shape of the channel. For example, the width of the channel, the degree of bank slope, the riparian vegetation, and the type of substrate are a few of the physical measurements we take.
Why should I include a stream channel assessment in my stream monitoring protocol? The shape of the stream is affected by what is happening in the watershed, such as changes in land use or changes in weather patterns. This is an example of factors that impact streams and affect their shape and health.
When: October 14-15, 2026.
Where: We will meet at the Fort Sill Apache Tribal Complex for the presentation portion of the training. After that, it’s off to the creeks to get in the water and start taking measurements.
Mark your calendars!
Registration is forthcoming.
