The Park Service has always excelled at managing visitors,
and as global warming makes itself felt in Yosemite, Glacier and
other national treasures, the agency should use its interpretive

Hurricane Katrina today – show that all civilizations are

climate

The National Network of Forest Practitioners restores
forests and streams while creating sustainable jobs in local
communities
Environmental issues were almost invisible in the
presidential debates, but an awful lot has happened in the last
four years – and most of it has not been good for the
West.
The West needs to take charge of its own destiny, and
become more than just a political game piece in the presidential
election
The writer watches the presidential debates but
can’t see that either candidate knows much about the
West’s rural communities
