Washington Trails Association is co-hosting a panel discussion on global climate change and how it will affect our state's national parks: Olympic, Mount Rainier, and North Cascades National Parks.
The floods and windstorms of 2006 were just the latest storm events to ravage Washington’s public lands. Given the high likelihood that future storms will cause similar damage, we're facilitating a discussion on how the federal government can best sustain long term access to places, such as Mount Rainier, that make sense from an economic and ecological standpoint. This panel will be open to the public and will include experts in climate change, outdoor recreation, economics, wildlife, and road and trail construction, among others.
This event is co-hosted by organizations from the Washington Parks and Forest Coalition, which include Washington Trails Association, National Parks Conservation Association, the Student Conservation Association, and Washington's National Park Fund. The event is made possible by a grant from Boeing.
