This FREE program is appropriate for families and will include fun activities for children. All participants should wear boots and warm clothing suitable for outdoor exploration. In case of inclement weather an alternative indoor program will be held.

Mark your calendars now for this half day of workshops focused on protecting watershed resources in a changing climate. Workshops will focus on providing local decision makers, community leaders, and planners with tools and information needed to protect watershed resources and local infrastructure while dealing with heavy rainstorms, extended dry periods, sea level rise, and other environmental challenges associated with our changing climate.  Experts will also provide guidance for meeting the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's new stormwater management requirements for municipal systems.
