"This is a life-changing course. It helped me move from … paralysis to empowerment and to action.” Thus commented a recent graduate of SOCAN’s Master Climate Protector course. Declining snowpack and summer rainfall, ongoing western drought, increasing wildfire risk. Are these dastardly Halloween tricks from Mother Nature or are we the culprit? If you would like to connect the dots, consider registering for Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s Master Climate Protector course. The seventh annual offering will start on Wednesday, February 9th 2022 and run weekly for ten three-hour sessions from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. Since it will be offered via ZOOM, registrants can join from anywhere on the globe but those in the western US will find it particularly relevant.
