Climate change is readily apparent this year, generating surprising heat waves in the Pacific Northwest, scores of wildfires across the West, and an ongoing series of tropical storms and hurricanes spinning out of the Atlantic and barreling into the East and Gulf coasts of the United States.
The effects of climate change aren’t absent from the National Park System, either. To discuss some of those impacts at Yosemite National Park, we reached out to Frank Dean, president and CEO of the Yosemite Conservancy, and Cory Goehring, the conservancy’s lead naturalist.
During our conversation we discuss not only climate change impacts in the park, but also a range of Conservancy projects in Yosemite National Park.
