What is the Forest Service doing when it comes to climate change? Here are examples of how scientists, managers, and their partnerships with one another and with outside organizations are addressing the issue of climate change and its effect on ecosystems. This is happening through scientific research, vulnerability assessments and adaptation efforts on National Forests and Grasslands, and education and information sharing.
