Climate Impacts Group

The Nooksack Indian Tribe has contracted to study the impacts of climate change, timber harvests, temperature change and sediment loading on stream temperature, mass wasting (or slope movement), summer flows and winter glacial retention since 2010 and has created adaptation plans for fish, fish habitats, wildlife, Indigenous foods, water supply and water quality. Harriet Morgan is quoted.

“We see the consequences of this warming unfolding around us every day in our communities as well as in the news. It’s not just this distant problem in the future where we can just kick the can down the road and deal with it later. It’s here now.” – Harriet Morgan
