How can The Tribune improve its environmental coverage? We want reader feedback
The Tribune is expanding its efforts to cover environmental issues in San Luis Obispo County, and those efforts start with you, our readers.
San Luis Obispo County is known for its natural beauty, from springtime wildflowers blooming at the Carrizo Plain National Monument to migrating birds swooping across the Morro Bay Estuary. These ecosystems brace for the impact of climate change, with the potential for increasingly extreme weather patterns and larger, more frequent wildfires.
Meanwhile, the county is a hub for energy — home to the state’s only nuclear power plant, solar farms and even potentially an offshore wind farm. The county is also grappling with a dwindling water supply in the Paso Robles Area Groundwater Basin, which impacts farmers, domestic well owners and local ecosystems.
The Tribune wants to know what environmental issues interest you the most.
Check out The Tribune’s new environmental coverage survey to give us feedback on our existing reporting on environmental issues or to give us new ideas of how we can do this work even better for our community.
