(In Person) Effects of Climate Change in Massachusetts– Thursday, June 23 at 7:30pm
We’ve all heard about climate change, but what is happening to the flora and fauna in Massachusetts? Have you noticed different birds in your neighborhood? Are plants blooming earlier? Are deciduous trees losing their leaves later? Tia Pinney, Mass Audubon Teacher Naturalist and Ecological expert, will explain some of the changes in our environment due to climate change and how these changes affect the wildlife that lives in Massachusetts.
