Living Seawalls field trip -

• August 15, 10am-11:30am 
  Join us to visit Living Seawalls in partnership with Stone Living Lab! We'll explore North America's first-ever Living Seawalls habitat panels installed in the Boston Harbor at the Condor Street Urban Wild.  We’ll learn how they create habitat for marine life to flourish on surfaces that would otherwise be inhospitable. Stay after for optional lunch and networking time at a nearby community garden. This field trip has a waiting list and you can email us to be added.

Save the DATE for a Trip to the Pioneer Valley -

  We'll start the morning in Northampton at the Pine Grove Golf Course to discuss partnering with beavers on flood resiliency. Stick around for a networking lunch! 

  Following this, we will head to Belchertown with partners from MassWildlife Fisheries to observe pit tagging of fish and learn about the systems used to track fish movements! More details coming soon.
