Environmental Caucus

About

Welcome to the ENVIRONMENTAL CAUCUS page. Our focus is on environmental issues that affect Josephine County and are important to its people. At the very top of this list is climate change. This issue affects every person worldwide because the health of our entire planet is at stake. While climate change may be at the top of our list, we will also focus on the health of our forests, meadows, lakes, rivers, streams, and the very air that surrounds us here in Josephine County.

Our small but informed and dedicated committee is working to keep you informed to help you make choices and take actions to protect and sustain what we have in Josephine County, in Oregon, and across this beautiful blue planet.
