Climate Change and How it Relates to Montgomery County, PA.

Oct 28th, 6:45pm-8:30pm.

Plant and animal species and the habitats in which they live are already beginning to adapt and migrate in response to climate change. As a consequence, people who care about the natural world need to adapt the way we think about and practice conservation. This workshop, given by Andy Pitz from the Natural Lands Trust, will examine what the science is telling us and explore, through extensive case studies, the many ways conservation organizations are developing new strategies, taking action and preparing for their important role going forward. We will also briefly review the changing policy situation in Washington and how the American Clean Energy Security Act, if passed in the Senate, is likely to affect the work of land and water conservation.
