If federal priorities related to climate change shift away from our vision for a sustainable future, we can act at local, regional, and state levels to bring environmental policies and practices back into alignment.

Among many policy outcomes, this research informed the Clean Air Act Amendments that protect our air and water quality today. </span><span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;">If federal funding is diverted away from ecosystem studies like Hubbard Brook, we will count on support from private citizens like you to re-balance our budgets so that our scientific work can continue.</span></div>
