Wednesday, January 8, 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm – Nature on Tap: Building Resilience to Climate Change Through Nature

Join the Massachusetts Audubon Society on January 8 at 6:30 at Jack’s Abby Brewery, 102 Clinton Street in Framingham, for food, locally-brewed beer, and a thought-provoking discussion with Paige Dolci, Central/MetroWest Regional Coordinator for Mass Audubon. Paige’s topic is Building Resilience to Climate Change Through Nature. Nature-based solutions involve actions that work with, and enhance, nature to help people adapt to the impacts of climate change. These solutions also often provide co-benefits for the economy, human health, and biodiversity. Join us for an overview of nature based solutions and some examples of the important role they play in communities throughout our region. $15 for Mass Audubon members, $20 for nonmembers. Register online at www.massaudubon.org. This informal series is hosted by Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary and Mass Audubon’s Conservation Science department, and co-sponsored by Jack’s Abby Brewing.
