EMG Climate Action Teams
Connecting state-wide to make a difference
Support the Master Gardener Program

Climate Action Teams-CATs Goals:

WSU Cougar Logo

As a group, we are concerned about Climate Change and how it is affecting the planet. We are banding together, across the state, because Climate Change is such a large issue, it requires us all to pull together as one. As Master Gardeners, we are defining the path where we can offer relevant information, packaged into programs that are consistent with the Master Gardener mission and priorities. We want to make an impact in such a way that the Master Gardener Extension Program is regarded as a key resource in the fight against Climate Change.


Upcoming meetings:

When the group meets:

Harvested peet moss.

We have monthly meetings. One hour, Wednesdays at 5:30pm on the Wednesday deemed to be closest to the middle of the month. In the meetings, we review progress on active projects; promote ideas for new projects; and seek project leads to move those ideas to active projects.


Active Projects:

Bob Taylor speaking at conference.

Speakers Library

To amplify our voice, we are creating a state wide library of climate related presentations that have been reviewed and ‘WSU EMG APPROVED’. These presentations are available for any EMG to learn, download and present in their county.

Extension Master Gardener Education

For those who join the group wanting to learn more about climate change, we are developing educational programs and providing links to important educational materials.

Advanced Education

In the 2024 Advanced Education Conference, all presentations will have a climate related theme. In addition, one educational track will focus specifically on climate change.
Members of our group are helping to shape that climate change related track.

Care about the Climate and want to make a difference?

Climate Change is such a significant issue, it requires all our effort. We need volunteers who are willing to roll up their sleeves and tackle projects, large and small. Together, we can help build momentum to tackle our greatest challenge.
