Climate Change in the Sierra
Jim Branham, Executive Officer, Sierra Nevada Conservancy
California is already experiencing the effects of climate change. The Golden State experienced the driest spring in a generation this year, leading the governor to declare a water emergency. This summer 2,000 more wildfires scorched the state, forcing evacuations throughout the state, including the Yosemite-Mariposa area and the northern Sierra. Branham will describe the effects of climate change in the Sierra and what his organization is doing to assist in mitigating the impacts of the state's changing climate.
