Bill Baccus

The imperiled glaciers of the Olympic Mountains are still important reservoirs of cold, clean water for human use and critical habitat for salmon and trout. Healthy river corridors also provide indispensable habitat for birds, insects, and other animals, and are thus inextricably linked to the quality of life here on our peninsula.

Olympic National Park researcher, Bill Baccus, will present on the current state of Olympic glaciers and the long-term decline of our winter snowpack, with an eye to future expectations for river systems here on the North Olympic Peninsula.
