Olympic Mountains Glaciers Are Melting

Our Olympic Mtn glaciers are melting. What can we do?    Check the Fellowship Letter/Email display every Sunday located outside opposite the front door.  Next week is the last week to send a letter or email to the Clallam Co. Commissioners thanking them for requesting the DNR put 3000+ acres of the Olympic National Forest into permanently protected status, instead of selling it off to logging companies. Trees matter. Mature trees sequester CO2  far more abundantly than new single crop plantation forests.                    

  Glaciers also matter. They act as water storage storage systems. When they’re gone, less water flows, streams and rivers become hotter, there is less water for agriculture, people, wildlife and forests.  Can you imagine our beautiful Olympic Peninsula without its rivers and forests?  Our actions are the only answer to change this scenario.

The Spring 2024 issue of National Parks magazine showcases an artists tribute to our vanishing glaciers.  It’s called “The Long Goodbye.” Check it out and then take action to make ‘we’ most powerful answer in our climate action toolbox.
