Climate Adaptation Research Lab (CARL)

The Climate Adaptation Research Lab (CARL, known formerly as the Maxwell Creek Watershed Project) is a collaborative, multidisciplinary forest restoration project based on Salt Spring Island under the leadership of Transition Salt Spring with the support of multiple organizations including Raincoast. It aims to create a template for restoring ecological integrity and climate resilience to Coastal Douglas-fir (CDF) forests across the Gulf Islands, while also building a community of practice around established methodologies. The Field Files series documents CARL project progress by engaging with different experts who have contributed to project work and publicly sharing their expertise and contributions. This will aid in future project replicability.
