Pepperwood is a leader in advancing science-based conservation throughout the Northern California region and beyond (see www.pepperwoodpreserve.org). The purpose of this project is to build on Pepperwood's experience using its 3120-acre research reserve to advance long-term climate research and environmental education for all ages. Pepperwood will use NSF funds provided by this award to develop a five-year strategic plan to increase its impact in terms of publishing scientific results, engaging diverse students, and forging conservation applications with land and water management partners. The Pepperwood team will seek input from the scientific community, business leaders, and technology experts. The results will be integrated into a comprehensive planning document that addresses how to achieve targeted science and education outcomes in partnership with the California Academy of Sciences, the Santa Rosa Junior College, University of California, federal and state agencies, and others. This project will strengthen Pepperwood's role in improving the health and prosperity of the region and the nation as a whole through science.Pepperwood will develop a five-year strategic plan for its center of operations, the Dwight Center for Conservation Science, and its 3120-acre research reserve located in California's Coast Ranges. The goal is to advance the station's role as an emerging leader in real-time climate change research and applications for the region. Proposed planning activities include 1) consulting with scientific advisors to define a century-scale vision for making a scientific impact, 2) locating models and selecting best practices for excellence in field station management and operations, 3) seeking expert advice on data management to incorporate resilient hardware, software and communications networks to store and disseminate research results and long-term monitoring data, 4) consulting business experts on how to leverage revenue generation strategies specific to our non-profit context, and 5) synthesizing these planning elements into a five-year comprehensive strategic plan in concert with research, education, community, and government stakeholders.

胡椒木是整个北方加州地区及其他地区推进以科学为基础的保护的领导者（见www.pepperwoodpreserve.org）。该项目的目的是建立在胡椒木的经验，利用其3120英亩的研究储备，以推进长期的气候研究和环境教育的所有年龄。 Pepperwood将利用该奖项提供的NSF资金制定一项五年战略计划，以增加其在出版科学成果、吸引不同学生以及与土地和水资源管理合作伙伴共同开发保护应用方面的影响力。 Pepperwood团队将寻求科学界、商界领袖和技术专家的意见。研究结果将被纳入一份综合规划文件，该文件涉及如何与加州科学院、圣罗莎初级学院、加州大学、联邦和州机构等合作，实现有针对性的科学和教育成果。 该项目将加强胡椒木在通过科学改善该地区和整个国家的健康和繁荣方面的作用。胡椒木将为其运营中心、德怀特保护科学中心及其位于加州海岸山脉的3120英亩研究保护区制定一项五年战略计划。其目标是促进该站作为该地区实时气候变化研究和应用的新兴领导者的作用。拟议的规划活动包括：1）与科学顾问协商，以确定产生科学影响的百年远景，2）确定模型并选择最佳做法，以实现外地台站管理和运行的卓越性，3）就数据管理征求专家意见，以纳入弹性硬件、软件和通信网络，以存储和传播研究成果和长期监测数据，4）咨询业务专家如何利用我们的非营利背景下的特定创收战略，以及5）将这些规划要素与研究，教育，社区和政府利益相关者一起整合为五年综合战略计划。
