For our spring quarterly meeting, we invite everyone in our region to come together in a unified effort to advance practical responses to the ecological, economic, political, social, and health-related challenges that climate change presents, both now and for future generations.
This free event is open to all who are interested in learning more about resiliency and our region's awareness and efforts so far. (See schedule below.)
