So what’s causing it? And how worried should we be in the face of concerns about climate change? We’ll dig into the report, today on In The NoCo.

That’s partly because climate change has made it harder for new trees to survive where the old trees would have thrived. One researcher at CSU wants to address the problem by planting entirely different species of trees after a wildfire. You can learn more on today’s In the NoCo.
