A Trinity County supervisor is helping in a statewide effort by county
leaders to tackle climate change issues.

Jeff Morris is leading a working group for the California State
Association of Counties along with a supervisor from Napa County. Coming
from a timber county, Morris said one of the best ways to slow global
warming is through improved forest management.

"Catastrophic wildfires are one of the biggest sources of greenhouse
gases on the West Coast," he said.

After meeting twice earlier this summer, the group put together draft
climate-change policy statements that are being reviewed by other county
supervisors across the state. The state association is expected to take
a stance on the issues later this year. In September, Morris is set to
attend the National Association of Counties Climate Protection Forum in
Washington, D.C.
