"Climate change programs in federal land management agencies are quietly carrying on, even amid Trump administration hostility to such action.
The connection between public lands and solving climate change recently came up as a campaign issue in the 2020 presidential race. But that work is already happening, albeit on a smaller and quieter scale.
Employees at the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are continuing to take training courses on climate change mitigation, collect climate data, and participate in climate change and lands protection collaborations, among other efforts.
They’re doing so in far-flung offices in ways that don’t attract the attention of Trump administration officials in Washington, said Kit Muller, who was the BLM’s strategic planner at the agency’s headquarters until he retired in 2018."
