Pullman Radio · last updated

The Washington Climate Corps Network recently awarded $1,172,000 in grants to eight community-based groups working to build resistance to climate change in the state.

Among the awarded organizations was the Phoenix Conservancy, which will be using the funds to implement a service project bringing biochar production to the Palouse region to fight challenges to agriculture posed by wildfires and drought.
