Climate Change Impacts at LLNF – Nature Walk with Dr. Sarah Bois

Join Dr. Sarah Bois, Director of Research and Conservation, for tour of climate change impacts around the LLNF property. She’ll showcase LLNF research and restoration in action, demonstrate tools we can all use to track changes in our environments, and help participants identify climate change indicators.

How is climate change already affecting LLNF and the island? How is it expected to affect our flora and fauna in the near future? We’ll explore these topics as we tour the LLNF property, highlight areas potentially vulnerable to impacts of climate like sea level rise and warming temperatures, and discuss local efforts to mitigate for climate change effects.

Walking over our gently rolling trails, we’ll explore sandplain grasslands and coastal heathland habitats, and enjoy views of Long Pond as we traverse a portion of the Linda Loring Nature Foundation’s Eel Point Road property. We’ll see what’s blooming, fruiting, flying, and crawling around the trails. Bring your nature questions- discussion is encouraged!

This program is free and open to all!
