Connecting with Science
The North Coast and Cascades Research Learning Center is one of 18 research learning centers throughout the country, and works to:
- Promote national parks as premier places for scientific enquiry
- Facilitate the use of science to inform management decisions
- Incorporate science into park visitor and staff experiences
The NCC RLC is co-located with the North Coast and Cascades Inventory and Monitoring Network. The RLC works with network parks, the NCC I&M Network, and other researchers to identify research needs, coordinate science activities, and make science accessible for park management.
