SUMMARY:Learning Series - Climate Change: Seeing the Forest through the Trees
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is full of paradoxes. The need for action is urgent\, and yet\, true success is a long game. \nHeather Goldstone\, Chief Communication Officer of the Woodwell Climate Research Center\, kicks off our 2025 Learning Series with a big-picture look at how we talk and think about climate change. This free event will take place on Tuesday\, March 4\, at 7 pm\, in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nThe accumulation of greenhouse gases is supercharging both droughts and downpours\, fires and floods. It is a global phenomenon with intensely local impacts. This talk will address common questions and misconceptions about climate change and present a realistic\, empowering framing of our climate challenge—the scope of the problem and the kinds of solutions we need. \nAbout Heather Goldstone \nHeather Goldstone leads Woodwell Climate Research Center’s communications activities\, bringing the rich stories of Woodwell Climate scientists to diverse public audiences. She draws on her extensive experience as both a scientist and a journalist\, and her passion for melding data and narrative in climate change stories that build awareness and inspire action. \nShe came to Woodwell Climate from WGBH\, where she founded and hosted a weekly science-focused radio show\, Living Lab Radio. Previously\, she wrote the Climatide blog about coastal communities facing climate change. Her reporting on science and the environment has appeared in outlets ranging from Cape Cod Times and Commercial Fishery News to NPR’s Morning Edition\, The Takeaway\, and PBS NewsHour. In 2014\, she was recognized for the breadth of her work with WGBH’s Margret and Hans Rey/Curious George Producer award. \nAs a child\, Heather fell in love with the ocean and went on to pursue a career in marine research before turning her energies to science communication. She serves on the Woods Hole Sea Grant Marine Outreach Guidance Group and Cape Cod Climate Change Collaborative Advisory Committee\, and she frequently teaches or mentors students in communication skills. \nThanks to our 2025 Land Trust Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n\nMeridian Custom Homes ~ Providence\nCharles E.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk: Veterans Memorial Park
DESCRIPTION:Discover Barrington’s town-owned Veterans Memorial Park on a free guided walk by Land Trust Executive Director Cindy Elder on Sunday\, March 16\, at 1 pm. All ages are welcome. \nREGISTER FOR THE WALK \nWe’ll meet in the parking area on West Street in Barrington (see map below – between the YMCA and the East Bay Bike Path). \nEstablished in 1946 as a public recreation and conservation area by the Town of Barrington\, the park was named to honor veterans. The park land stretches over 230 acres\, including the 84-acre pond named Brickyard because this was the site of a local brick-making industry started in 1720 by Matthew Watson and continued until 1943. \nThe historic Watson cemetery where Matthew Watson is buried is located within the southeastern boundary of the park. The excavated clay beds eventually filled with water from underground springs forming the beautiful pond. Connected to\nNarragansett Bay by a canal\, the area is an important herring spawning ground.
