Did you know that the Linda Loring Nature Foundation conducts research on and monitors the effects of climate change?
In celebration of Climate Change Awareness Month, join Dr. Sarah Bois, Director of Research and Education, for a climate change tour around LLNF. She’ll showcase LLNF research 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.
We’ll “ramble” over our gently rolling trails, we’ll explore sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands, and enjoy views of Long Pond and Nantucket Sound. Our staff will also share the history of the LLNF property, current research projects, and management efforts. Bring your nature questions- discussion is encouraged!
Rambles are free and open to all!
