Climate Change in the North Columbia Mountains

The changing climate is becoming more obvious each year. Recent analyses for the North Columbia Mountains illustrates potential long-term changes for the climate and local ecosystems.

- Increase their understanding of the current climate change projections for the North Columbia region
