SUMMARY:Learning Series: A Better World Is Possible ~ Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Join award winning environmental journalist Meera Subramanian for an engaging all-ages discussion of her new graphic novel\, A Better World Is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis. We encourage students to attend and participate in this free event. \nThe event will take place on Thursday\, May 14\, at 7 pm in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, our partner in the Land Trust Learning Series.  \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nAs climate change quickens—bringing with it extreme weather\, biodiversity loss and humanitarian crises—four teens help organize the world’s largest climate protest. Hundreds of thousands join them\, taking to the streets of New York City and demanding answers. \nHow did climate change get this bad? Who’s to blame? And most importantly: What can we do about it? \nIn their stunning graphic novel\, Meera Subramanian and New York Times best-selling illustrator Danica Novgorodoff share experiences from their lives and those of the four youth activists. Extensively researched interludes answer questions such as “What is climate change?” and “What is environmental (in)justice?” so readers can learn not just the science but the social implications of our changing planet and then explore solutions at hand. \nThey show us that anyone can make meaningful change\, because a better world is possible—and together\, we can create it! A Better World Is Possible will be available for sale at the event. \nAbout Meera Subramanian \nMeera Subramanian is an award-winning freelance journalist who writes narrative nonfiction about home in the personal and planetary sense\, in a time of climate crisis. \nHer work has appeared in publications such as Nature\, The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, Virginia Quarterly Review\, and Orion\, where she is a contributing editor. \nHer first book was A River Runs Again: India’s Natural World in Crisis\, which was short-listed for the 2016 Orion Book Award. A National Geographic Explorer\, Meera has received numerous grants and fellowships. \n  \nThanks to our 2026 Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n \n  \n \nCharles E.

SUMMARY:Art in Nature: Nature Journaling at Allin's Cove
DESCRIPTION:The Art in Nature Program is made possible by the Ronald D. Russo Charitable Fund. \nExperience the unique shoreline preserve of Allin’s Cove\, rich with birdlife\, at mid-tide as the sun is setting on Wednesday\, May 20\, from 6-8 pm. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nVisual and literary artists working in a variety of media are invited to participate. We’ll encourage each other as we explore and document the natural world. Each participant should bring their own journal and pens\, pencils\, watercolors\, easels\, camera or whatever supplies fit your practice. \nThis gathering is focused on the creation of artwork in a natural environment and sharing of ideas and experience among participants. It is not an instructional workshop. \nWe welcome people of all skill levels\, from beginner to professional. Youth under the age of 14 may participate if accompanied by an adult. \nAllin’s Cove \nAllin’s Cove Conservation Area is a 20-acre stretch of marsh\, grassland and wooded upland surrounding a tidal cove along the Providence River in the Northwest corner of Barrington\, RI. The Cove was named for General Thomas Allin\, whose grave still stands in a nearby graveyard. \nIn the early to mid-1900s\, manufacturing facilities in the nearby Bay Spring Village pumped pollution from dye vats and other sources directly into the Cove. In 1959\, the Army Corps of Engineers disposed of dredge spoils on 11 acres of salt marsh and tidal flats at the Cove. \nIn the late 1990s\, restoration efforts began through a partnership with neighborhood advocates\, Save the Bay\, the Town of Barrington\, and the Barrington Land Conservation Trust. The Coastal Resource Management Council obtained a reparation agreement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, resulting in a $760K project to relocate the channel in the cove and restore the salt marsh. \nThe cove supports a variety of aquatic species\, raptors\, song birds\, mammals and pollinating insects.
