Preparing for Climate Change in King County, Washington
King County and National Wildlife Federation have developed a tool, Forestry Climate Preparedness and Response (CPR), that helps landowners determine the health of their yard and forestland, and then develop a plan for making their property more resilient to the impacts of climate change. The tool can be used by owners to make all types of properties more resilient to climate change, from private homes to schools to public parks or businesses.
What can you do with Forestry CPR?
This tool acts as a model for communities all over the country who are
preparing for the impacts of climate change.
Using the tool, landowners can learn:
- How climate change will impact their property
- How they can minimize climate impacts
- How local forests absorb and store climate pollution
- Tips and resources for how they can enhance their forest’s health and productivity
We encourage you to visit the Forestry CPR website and utilize the tool to make changes on your property!
