WHITE SALMON — The Columbia River Gorge Commission will be partnering with Oregon State University Extension to offer a community climate resilience program this spring. The course begins April 8 and runs through June 28.

Climate Stewards is a comprehensive Climate Change education program that prepares community members to communicate with others about climate issues and to engage in local efforts to advance community and ecosystem resilience in a changing climate. The program uses a curriculum grounded in the latest climate science and research in teaching about climate change. The purpose of Climate Stewards is to build a community of informed, local stewards motivated to act and to build capacity to advance collective solution-oriented projects through community action.
