The North Coast & Cascades Science Learning Network
The North Coast & Cascades Science Learning Network is where science and education come together to help preserve and protect areas of national significance. Whether monitoring natural ecosystems or studying historic sites, national park scientists are stewards of our nation’s crown jewels. Working unobtrusively and mostly out of sight, park scientists do the rigorous science needed to document park ecological health and to conserve historical riches. This series profiles staff in eight Pacific Northwest national parks and offers behind-the-scenes looks at science in action.
