.A Tale of Two Crises: What the Pandemic Teaches Us About Addressing Climate ChangeSpeaker: Heather Goldstone, Chief Communications Officer, Woodwell Climate Research Center via zoom.As COVID-19 hit the U.S. last March, climate scientists immediately started noticing parallels in the federal response - or lack thereof - to another crisis, climate change. A year later, those similarities have led to lessons that apply to the challenge of addressing climate change. Words matter. We have to flatten the curve. Science offers solutions. Starting now will still save lives. While we currently are not where we should or could be in curtailing either the pandemic or climate change, this understanding offers an optimistic perspective on the path forwardContact: Carolyn Elkort : 7818215027 : celkort@ocln.org [Adult]

Climate Change and Role of Native Plant

As our world warms, the distributions of many native plant species are shifting with the climate. But not all species will keep pace with modern climate change, and some could face extinction. This poses a dilemma— what role should we take in helping native plant...More

As our world warms, the distributions of many native plant species are shifting with the climate. But not all species will keep pace with modern climate change, and some could face extinction. This poses a dilemma— what role should we take in helping native plant populations migrate? Jesse Bellemare explores these questions in the context of the constant evolution of plant ranges over time, and the current insights we can gain from native plant horticulture in Massachusetts.Jesse Bellemare’s research focuses on the ecology and biogeography of forest plants in the eastern United States. In addition to being an Associate Professor at Smith College, he is currently the president of the New England Botanical Club.Contact: Carolyn Elkort : 7818215027 : celkort@ocln.org [Adult]
