The climate has already started changing and it will only continue. Buffer forests are on the frontline of that change but could also be a cornerstone of resilience. We can foster that resilience on our landscapes and in our own yards. By planting native plants and restoring buffer forests you can provide resources to pollinators, fruits for humans and wildlife, clean the air and water, and help human and wildlife populations thrive; together and connected, whatever comes next.

Climate Adaptation Workshop:

Saturday April 6th, 9am-12pm, with speakers on a number of topics from climate adaptive gardening to managing invasive species to trout habitat. Please see the program brochure for details on speakers.
