For the past five years, CHNEP has hosted an annual resiliency summit where speakers present their latest work on regional science and address challenges that collectively impact the communities of Central and Southwest Florida. The event is public to allow land managers, local scientists, policymakers, academics, and resource users to attend and gain knowledge and resources to help them be more resilient.
