SUMMARY:Workshop: How to Talk about Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:How to Talk about Climate Change: Climate Action through Conversation \nA workshop with Ezra Markowitz \nWednesday\, March 6\n7 pm – 8:30 pm\nRegistration required\, donations appreciated. \n \nMost people spend very little time talking about environmental issues with their colleagues\, friends and family members. Yet research shows that these are exactly the conversations we need to be having in order to promote greater public engagement with the climate change and sustainability challenges we face. In this talk\, I will present some of the research we and others have done on the key role of interpersonal communication—everyday social interactions and conversations—in climate change decisions. I will then highlight how this work can be used to support pro-environmental decision-making across a variety of issues. This will be a moderated conversation with lots of time for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Bark & Winter Tree ID with Michael Wojtech
DESCRIPTION:Bark & Winter Tree ID with Michael Wojtech\nCollaboration with Adventure East\nTuesday\, March 12\n6:30 pm class\, located at Hitchcock Center\n \nSunday\, March 17\n10 am – 12:30 pm class\, outdoor field location TBD  \nSliding Scale Tickets: $45\, $60\, $75\nSpace is limited\, register now!\n \nThere is no better local naturalist to teach you about winter tree identification. Michael wrote the book\, literally. Join Michael Wojtech\, author of  BARK: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast for a two part class\, in collaboration with Adventure East. There will be a Tuesday evening classroom presentation followed by a Sunday morning in the field.  The traits typically used to describe trees—leaves\, twigs\, and buds—are often hard to see or seasonally absent.  \nJoin Michael for an exploration of bark\, which is always visible\, in any season. As you hone your perceptive abilities you will learn about a system for identifying tree species by their bark\, and discover why such a variety of bark characteristics exist. Why do some species have smooth bark\, while on others it is thick and broken? Why does bark peel? Space is limited\, please register now.  Adventure East will provide snowshoes or microspikes depending on weather.  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Workshop: Climate Change in New England
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change in New England (Virtual)  \nWorkshop with Dr. Elizabeth A Burakowski\nWednesday\, March 20 \n7 pm – 8 pm \nClimate in the northeastern United States has shifted remarkably over the past few decades\, with notable impacts on ecosystems and society. Trends include warmer and shorter winters\, fewer days with continuous snow cover\, changes in leaf out dates and chilling periods\, and dramatic swings in precipitation and drought. How will the climate choices we make today affect native plants in the future? This talk will provide an overview of climate trends past and future\, based on historical observations and future climate model projections. \nWorkshop leader:  \nDr. Elizabeth (Liz) Burakowski is Research Faculty at the Institute for the Study of Earth Oceans and Space at University of New Hampshire. She is also an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Earth Sciences. Dr. Burakowski earned her Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Science in 2013\, studying the climate impacts of deforestation in the northeastern United States. She has co-authored over two dozen publications on New England climate change\, including the 2021 New Hampshire Climate Assessment. Dr. Burakowski is an avid perennial and vegetable gardener and enjoys eliminating invasive plants in her yard for sport.
