Forest Service ramps up climate-change information

.
Climate-change specialists are visiting Forest Service offices in the agency's Northern Region to educate employees about shifting climatic conditions and their ramifications. The Forest Service is looking at how best to manage its vast and varied natural resources, while reducing the agency's environmental footprint. Besides dispatching climate-change specialists to its offices, the Missoula-based Northern Region covering 12 national forests has been polling employees. Officials say the polling will help focus Forest Service policy.
