Ailene Kane Ettinger will speak at Garden in the Woods, Framingham, Massachusetts, on Sunday, November 17, from 1:30 – 3:30 on the topic Ecological Impacts of Climate Change in New England, in a program sponsored by the Ecological Landscaping Association, the New England Wild Flower Society, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society Drumlin Farm.  The fee is $26 for members of any sponsoring organization and $32 for non-members.

Are alpine environments threatened because forests may expand uphill with global warming?  Is maple syrup likely to remain a viable product in New England?  How will salt marshes and other coastal habitats be affected by sea level rise?  Will we see more invasive plants in New England.  Learn what scientists know about climate change, including past warnings, and what we can expect for the future.  Dr. Ettinger will discuss what remains uncertain and what can be expected for New England’s flora, fauna, and unique habitats.  For more information email ela.info@comcast.net or call 617-436-5838.  Register online at https://www.eventville.com/catalog/eventregistration1.asp?eventid=1010800.
