Permanently protecting habitat and farmland from development is a powerful action with generational impact. Not only does this work preserve culturally-important landscapes, but the science is clear- connected tracts of habitat are critical for climate change adaptation. We can protect what is important now, but how do we steward the land in the face of an uncertain future?

DNRT’s Executive Director, Nick Wildman, will lead guests on a walk of the Slocums River Reserve to illustrate the importance of this parcel to the larger local environment. He will also describe how changing environmental factors figure into the organization’s management of its protected spaces.
