We are so excited to share that the good work of colleagues and collaborators at the University of Minnesota Morris and Morris Minnesota City Government was featured in the New York Times!

The "Morris Model" was borne, in part, from our nonpartisan Rural Climate Dialogues, fostering rural energy resilience in light of extreme weather and climate change.

We'd be remiss not to say: reach out if you'd like to talk about a Rural Climate Dialogue in your community! We love to dream and scheme!

❗❗The report for the Pierce County Rural Climate Dialogue is out!

We are excited that Pierce Conservation District, the Puyallup Watershed Initiative and county partners have already begun responding to the recommendations and findings of the Dialogue. They are currently working with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department to coordinate and distribute box fan filters for rural Pierce County residents in order to mitigate the impact of wildfire smoke and improve indoor air quality. ✅

We especially want to thank the Pierce County participants who spent five days working together to create this report and identify these steps for action.

👉🏻Collaboration. Deciding together improves trust 🤝🏽
