Topic: Helping Tidal Wetland and Beach Plants to Weather Climate Change

Speaker: Louisa Thompson

Tidal wetland and beach habitats are under threat from sea level rise and other aspects of climate change. Learn how shoreline property owners – public and private – can assess the potential to preserve tidal habitats and help them migrate to higher elevations, ensuring continuation of the important ecosystem services these plant communities provide.

All are welcome to come.
