A Visit to One of America's Top 10 Carbon Storing Forests

March 3, 2010

Join The Wilderness Society’s forest guru, Mike Anderson, as he takes you to one of the United States’ top carbon storing national forests — the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington state. As one of the most visited national forests in the United States, the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National forest is home to an abundance of recreational opportunities, old growth forests, glacier-covered peaks and spectacular rushing rivers. Anderson explains why mature and old growth forests act as giant piggy banks for carbon storage and how these towering giants are essential for reducing the effects of climate change.
