Dr. Robert Gegear\, professor of biology at UM ASS Dartmouth and director of The Beecology Project\, will give a foundati onal talk discussing the critical need to protect and restore native polli nator systems\, and how we will carry out this work in Lincoln.\n\nFree. A ll are welcome.\nAbout the Talk\nAs ‘keystone species’\, all native po llinators have a positive impact on the survival of wildlife at different trophic levels. No native pollinators equals loss of biodiversity and even tual ecosystem collapse. --Dr. Gegear\n\nA major misconception exists that seeing lots of ‘bees’ means a landscape is healthy and ‘pollinator- friendly’. In fact\, there is an important and significant difference be tween attracting an abundance of just a few species and in sustaining a di versity of native pollinating insects. Dr. Gegear will provide an introduc tion to the intricacies of this subject\, with a particular focus on our n ative bumblebees. He will discuss pollination systems— exploring the nee ds of both native pollinators and native plants— to help us develop cons ervation strategies that will restore functionally diverse\, native ecosys tems that ensure biodiversity and climate resilient landscapes.\nAbout the Speaker\n[caption id="attachment_2622" align="alignleft" width="227"] Dr. Gegear teaching citizen scientists to ID bumblebees.[/caption]\n\nDr. Rob ert Gegear is an Assistant Professor of Biology at the University of Massa chusetts\, Dartmouth. His research interests include the conservation of n ative pollination systems\, floral evolution\, and bumblebee ecology. The Gegear Lab at UMASS Dartmouth researches the neuroecology and conservation of plant-pollinator interactions through integrative experimental approac hes from fields such as animal behavior\, human psychology\, molecular bio logy\, community ecology\, and computational biology. Previously Dr. Gegea r taught at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where he founded The Beecology Project\, funded by the National Science Foundation. This initiative uses citizen science to collect much-needed ecological data on native pollinat or species and pollinator habitat.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\nAbout the Project\n[caption id="attachment_2399" align="alignleft" width="276"] Bombus Fervidus\, a native threatened bumblebee.

Evan Abramson\, Principal at LandscapeInteraction s and architect of Lincoln's Plan\, will discuss how to create and mainta in functionally diverse native pollinator habitat\, increase biodiversity and improve the resiliency of landscapes. There will be plenty of time for questions.\n\nFree. All are wlecome.\nAbout the Talk\nWild pollination sy stems are being degraded rapidly\, raising concern over an impending ecolo gical catastrophe. Yet most efforts to create pollinator habitat have only increased common species\, rather than the range of wild pollinators need ed for ecosystem health and resiliency. We will explore the critical role of plant selection in designing and planning for pollinators on a range of land use scenarios\, and take a sneak peak at the new pollinator habitat garden design for Birches School\, part of the Lincoln Pollinator Action P lan for 2020-2022. We'll break down the science behind native plants as well as crop pollination\, and explore the crucial role that native pollin ators play in biodiversity\, ecosystem health\, climate resiliency and foo d security.\nAbout the Speaker\nEvan Abramson is a Pollination Systems Des igner + Planner at LandscapeInteractions. Drawing on his diverse experienc e as a regional planner\, landscape designer\, community organizer\, docum entary filmmaker and photojournalist\, he designs landscapes and regional corridors that build biodiversity and strengthen ecological resilience to a changing climate at the ecosystems level\, through the (re)creation of n ative pollination systems and individual pollinator-plant interactions. A former Land Use + Natural Resources Planner at the Franklin Regional Counc il of Governments\, Evan designed a climate resiliency plan for the Deerfi eld River Watershed\, the first of its kind in the State of Massachusetts. His environmental documentaries have garnered dozens of festival awards\, and influenced policy makers across the globe.

Join in the reading and discussion of Doug Tallamy's newest book\, "Nat ure's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard". \n\nCo-sponsored with the Lincoln Public Library. A digital copy of the bo ok is available via the Lincoln Library's online catalog. You can download the Overdrive or Libby app as well.  If you are unable to read the book before our discussion\, that's ok! All are welcome to join us. You can als o watch a recording of his presentation \, available on the Grow Native We bsite.\n\nDouglas Tallamy's first book\, Bringing Nature Home\, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. Hi s solution? Plant more natives. In this new book\, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. N ature’s Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this a pproach relies on the initiatives of private individuals\, it is immune fr om the whims of government policy. Even more important\, it’s practical\ , effective\, and easy—you will walk away with specific suggestions you can incorporate into your own yard.\n\nIf you’re concerned about doing s omething good for the environment\, Nature’s Best Hope is the blueprin t you need. By acting now\, you can help preserve our precious wildlife— and the planet—for future generations.\nAbout the Lincoln Pollinator Act ion Plan\n[caption id="attachment_2399" align="alignright" width="150"] Bo mbus Fervidus\, a native threatened bumblebee.

The Massachusetts Global Warming Solutions Act reco gnizes that Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) are required to achieve our go al of Net Zero Emissions by 2050. NCS are actions to protect\, manage\, an d restore natural and working lands to remove and reduce carbon emissions. In Massachusetts\, NCS can reduce and remove an additional 1-2 million me tric tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year\, the equivalent of takin g roughly 215\,000 to 435\,000 cars off the road. These solutions also enh ance the safety and reduce costs of communities from natural hazards\, suc h as flooding\, heat\, and drought. And the work to protect nature and to apply nature-based solutions contributes significantly to our economy. The Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) has found that for every $1 mill ion spent on nature-based solutions\, 12.5 full time jobs are created or m aintained.\n\n \;\n\nDavid O'Neill  has dedicated his professional ca reer to conservation. As president of Mass Audubon\, he is leading the 125 -year-old organization to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time: loss of biodiversity\, inequitable access to nature\, and the threat of c limate change.\n\nBefore joining Mass Audubon in 2020\, he served as the C hief Conservation Officer and Senior Advisor to the CEO of National Audubo n Society (NAS). While there\, his powerful vision\, collaborative nature\ , and ability to raise critical funds elevated the entire organization. He led the development of NAS's conservation strategies\; helped to unify th e organization around a single vision\; oversaw the organization's policy\ , conservation\, and science agendas\; and launched innovative programs to help fight the impacts of climate change.\n\nRoles prior to his work at N ational Audubon include Vice President for Conservation at the National Fi sh and Wildlife Foundation\, Vice President at Cherokee Investment Partner s\, a private equity firm dedicated to sustainable investing\, Executive D irector of the Chesapeake Bay Trust\, and Director of Land Use Policy and Outreach for the Urban Land Institute.\n\nDavid\, who grew up in Maryland on a Chesapeake Bay farm\, is the recipient of the Andrew White Medal from Loyola University for his leadership on Chesapeake Bay recovery efforts. He has written authoritatively and spoken often about the relationship bet ween land use and environmental health and spoke on these issues nationall y and internationally.

There will be time for Q&\;A.\n\nThe LLCT’s mission includes helping Lincolnites learn more about climate change and what they can do about it . This presentation is co-sponsored by the First Parish in Lincoln Green C ommittee\, St. Anne’s Climate Justice Ministry\, and Lincoln Mothers Out Front.\n\nThis program is free and all are welcome. Registration is requi red. Register through Eventbrite here to receive the Zoom Meeting Informat ion. \n\n \;\n\nThe NextGen-Roadmap act is one of the most ambitious in the nation. It requires Massachusetts to plot a course to reach net-zer o emissions of global warming gases law by 2050\, with a 50% reduction com pared to the 1990 benchline by 2030 and a 75% reduction by 2040. It requir es the executive branch to establish interim five-year goals for emissions reductions and specific plans for how to reach them for at least six sepa rate sectors of the economy. It calls for procuring an additional 2\,400 m egawatts of offshore wind energy by 2027 and significantly increase protec tions for environmental justice communities across Massachusetts. It requi res promulgation of a “net-zero” building code that Lincoln and other municipalities would have the option to adopt.  You can read a summary of the Act from WBUR here.\n\nWhether the Act’s ambitious goals are achiev ed will depend in part on what the Baker and subsequent administrations do es in response to these mandates\, as well as on actions taken at the town level. Concerned citizens can make their voices heard to influence these decisions. Join us on November 15 to learn more.\n\nMike Barrett is the St ate Senator for Bedford\, Carlisle\, Chelmsford\, Concord\, Lincoln\, Walt ham\, Weston\, and large parts of Lexington and Sudbury. Mike serves as Se nate Chair of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications\, Utilities\, and Energy\, the body in the Massachusetts Legislature charged with legislatin g on climate change and clean energy.  He also serves as Assistant Majori ty Leader of the Democrats in the State Senate.\n\nMike was the chief arch itect of An Act Creating A Next Generation Roadmap for Massachusetts Clima te Policy.  The NextGen Climate Roadmap became law in this past March.  By common agreement\, it positions Massachusetts among the leading states in the nation on steps taken to deal with global warming.\n\nMike is a gra duate of Harvard College magna cum laude and the Northeastern University S chool of Law\, and is a member of the Massachusetts Bar. He’s married\, lives in Lexington\, and is the father of twin daughters.

Artificial light at night has bec ome ubiquitous and the negative effects on wildlife and human health are w ell documented. Feeding\, mating\, and migration behaviors of insects and other wildlife evolved with the complete darkness of night. As light pollu tion erodes this darkness\, the survival of many of these species is at ri sk. What is the scope of the problem and what can we collectively do to he lp? Join LLCT for a Fireside Chat with James Lowenthal\, Professor of Astr onomy at Smith College to learn about light pollution and how we can minim ize its negative effects.\n\nJames Lowenthal is the Mary Elizabeth Moses P rofessor of Astronomy at Smith College in Northampton\, Massachusetts. He received his BS in Physics and Astronomy from Yale and his PhD in Astronom y from the University of Arizona.\n\nHe studies the formation and evolutio n of galaxies\, especially actively star-forming galaxies. He served as Vi ce President of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) from 2016-2019 and serves on the AAS Committee on Light Pollution\, Radio Interference\, and Space Debris. He is the Massachusetts Chapter Leader for the Internationa l Dark-Sky Association.\n\nLowenthal is active locally\, nationally\, and internationally in the movement to fight light pollution and protect the n aturally dark night sky.

How to be a firefly steward\, neighbor\, and friend\, and keep their lights turned on\n\nBecause they want to be seen! But their unique b ioluminescent signals can be obscured by street lamps\, house lights\, and other sources of nighttime light pollution — and if we’re not careful \, our lights might extinguish theirs forever. Dr. Avalon C.S. Owens will share her recent research on this understudied aspect of firefly conservat ion\, much of which has taken place at sites around Lincoln\, and suggest some simple solutions that can help us coexist with fireflies\, moths\, an d our other nocturnal neighbors on an increasingly urbanized planet.\n\nAv alon C.S. Owens received her Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at Tufts University in spring 2022\, where she studied the impact of light polluti on on North American fireflies. She earned her Masters degree in Entomolog y from National Taiwan University\, and hosts a bilingual educational YouT ube channel called INSECT[昆蟲島]ISLAND. This fall she will be running a light pollution research group at the Rowland Institute of Science at Ha rvard University.\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n \n \;\n\n[gallery size="medium" link="file" ids="5718\,5717\,5716"] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lincolnconservation.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2022/08/photo-by-billy-hickey2.webp CATEGORIES:Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:124@lincolnconservation.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220925T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221030T160000 DTSTAMP:20220906T181346Z URL:https://lincolnconservation.org/events/gardening-for-climate-change-se ries/ SUMMARY:Gardening for Climate Change Series DESCRIPTION:Stay tuned for more details about these upcoming workshops!\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lincolnconservation.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2022/09/changing-climate-lcg.png CATEGORIES:Guided Walk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:119@lincolnconservation.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221016T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221016T110000 DTSTAMP:20220616T133351Z URL:https://lincolnconservation.org/events/10th-annual-scarecrow-classic-5 k/ SUMMARY:10th Annual Scarecrow Classic 5K DESCRIPTION:Save the date!

Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of li ving on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Ta llamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to rev erse declining biodiversity and will explain why we\, ourselves\, are natu re’s best hope.\nThe night's focus will be on how to create backyard bio diversity in Lincoln\, connect habitats throughout Town\, and increase res ilience against climate change.

They are food\, pollinators\, recyclers\, pest controllers\, and m uch more\, so we should be deeply concerned that they are in rapid decline . Dave Goulson will explain the many causes of insect decline\, and then t urn to the solutions of this crisis. We can all help in many ways\, first by turning our gardens and urban greenspaces into oases for life\, and sec ond by fundamentally changing the way we grow food\, and the food we buy.\ n\nDave Goulson is Professor of Biology at University of Sussex in Englan d\, specializing in bee ecology. He has published more than 350 scientific articles on the ecology and conservation of bumblebees and other insects\ , plus seven books\, including the Sunday Times bestsellers A Sting in th e Tale (2013)\, The Garden Jungle (2019)\, and Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse (2021). Goulson founded the Bumblebee Conservation Trust in 2006\, a charity which has grown to 12\,000 members.

We add important missing information and change the dominant narrative. This pres entation will help connect the dots from understanding the land to underst anding Indigenous People. We will move from the past to the present in lea rning how Indigenous ingenuity impacted language\, history\, industrializa tion\, and cultures around the world.\nClaudia Fox Tree is a professional educator and social justice activist who facilitates courses and workshops on having challenging conversations about diversity\, equity\, and social justice. In decolonizing equity conversations\, she centers Indigenous cu lture\, resistance\, and contributions\, while dismantling stereotypes and historical inaccuracies in what is now known as North and South America.

While our 400+ years immersi on in racial capitalism has attempted to squash that connection to the sac red earth\, there are those who persist in believing that the land and wat ers are family members\, and who act accordingly. In Black Earth Wisdom\, Leah Penniman weaves together the lessons from today’s most respected Bl ack environmentalists\, those who have cultivated the skill of listening t o the lessons that Earth has whispered to them. Together\, we embark on a sensory journey through Black ecological thought.\n\nIn this time\, we are acutely aware of the fractures in our system of runaway consumption and c orporate insatiability. We feel the hot winds of wildfire\, the disruption s of pandemic\, and the choked breath of the victims of state violence. We know there is no going back to “normal.” The path forward demands tha t we take our rightful places as the younger siblings in creation\, deferr ing to the oceans\, forests\, and mountains as our teachers.\n\nThose whos e skin is the color of soil are reviving their ancestral and ancient pract ice of listening to the Earth to know which way to go. As Dr. Carver expla ined\, “How do I talk to a little flower? Through it I talk to the Infin ite. And what is the Infinite? It is that silent\, small force… that sti ll small voice.”\nLeah Penniman (all pronouns) is a Black Kreyol farmer\ , mother\, soil nerd\, author\, and food justice activist from Soul Fire F arm in Grafton\, NY. She co-founded Soul Fire Farm in 2010 with the missio n to end racism in the food system and reclaim our ancestral connection to land. As Co-ED and Farm Director\, Leah is part of a team that facilitate s powerful food sovereignty programs - including farmer training for Black &\; Brown people\, a subsidized farm food distribution program for com munities living under food apartheid\, and domestic and international orga nizing toward equity in the food system. Leah has been farming since 1996\ , holds an MA in Science Education and a BA in Environmental Science and I nternational Development from Clark University\, and is a member of clergy in West African Indigenous Orisa tradition. Leah trained at Many Hands Or ganic Farm\, Farm School MA\, and internationally with farmers in Ghana\, Haiti\, and Mexico. She also served as a high school biology and environme ntal science teacher for 17 years. The work of Leah and Soul Fire Farm has been recognized by the Soros Racial Justice Fellowship\, Fulbright Progra m\, Pritzker Environmental Genius Award\, Grist 50\, and James Beard Leade rship Award\, among others.

A free virtual serie s on access\, inclusion\, and connection in nature. Learn more and registe r here:  https://www.onbelongingoutdoors.org/\nDoug Sutherland (he/him) i s a Black grandson\, son\, brother\, partner\, and father. In addition\, h e works as a DEIB (Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Belonging) Consult ant\, Keynote Speaker\, and Summer Camp professional. Since his first camp ing trip in 1987\, the outdoors has always been a passion. He has introduc ed the outdoors and environmental education to 3rd graders through high sc hool and beyond. As an ECO-ACT Program Educator at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis MO. (a program original funded by the Desegregation Pr ogram)\, he brought together city and county high school students to teach leadership and environmental science to elementary school in the area. Mo ving to New Hampshire in June of 1999\, Doug continued to follow the path of working with children in the outdoors. Working at 6 different camps and outdoor education center\, Doug learned\, grew\, and honed his skills in the outdoors. As a Black person in rural New Hampshire\, “belonging” i s an assumption for some and unattainable for others. An assumption of saf ety is not actually safe. Also\, it is only unattainable if you choose to not attain it. Doug’s mission as a father and DEIB Consultant is “To S tand Up\, To Speak Up\, and Do Something” and  foster and nurture belon ging in all spaces\, especially the outdoors.\nBelonging is one of those t hings that many seek to obtain\, and others seek to provide. The problem w ith belonging is often there are caveats. “We want everyone to have a se nse of belonging except for those who can’t make it here.” This is esp ecially true in outdoor setting. A person in a wheelchair may not be able to go on a particular trail. A Black person may not feel safe crossing a f ield near a public trail. When creating a sense of belonging it has very l ittle to do with how you feel about the space. You already feel comfortabl e there. However\, your ability to welcome and provide a sense of safety a llows you to help others belong.\nHosted by Farrington Nature Linc\, Linco ln Land Conservation Trust\, The Walden Woods Project\, Mass Audubon\, and Codman Community Farms. \n\nWith generous sponsorship by The Ogden Codma n Trust and Freedom's Way National Heritage Area\n\nRegister Here ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lincolnconservation.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2024/03/SM-Doug.png CATEGORIES:Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:165@lincolnconservation.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240328T203000 DTSTAMP:20240307T192917Z URL:https://lincolnconservation.org/events/diversity-underground/ SUMMARY:Diversity Underground DESCRIPTION:Diversity Underground: Ecological Gardening with Groundcovers f or Soil Health and Climate Resilience\n\nA free\, zoom lecture.

Just a teaspoon of soil has a billion bacteria\ , a million fungi\, and thousands of other soil organisms like protozoa an d nematodes. The diversity of these soil organisms matters. Soil biodivers ity is key to healthy soil that promotes plant growth\, stores and filters water\, and captures carbon from the atmosphere.\n\nPlanting groundcovers in Spring is the perfect complement to ecological gardening practices lik e No Mow May that promote above and belowground biodiversity. Lincoln resi dent and soil microbial ecologist Rachel Neurath\, PhD\, will uncover the importance of groundcover plants to enhance soil health\, biodiversity\, a nd climate resilience. Her talk will help lay the foundation for the upcom ing Garden Club talk on Native Lawn Alternatives with Alexis Doshas of the Native Plant Trust\, on April 3rd at 7pm.\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lincolnconservation.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2023/01/fervidus-on-prunella-pfp-2022-2.jpg CATEGORIES:Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:159@lincolnconservation.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240330T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240330T113000 DTSTAMP:20240307T192926Z URL:https://lincolnconservation.org/events/vernal-pool-storytime/ SUMMARY:Vernal Pool Storytime DESCRIPTION:The Lincoln Public Library\, Conservation Department\, and LLCT welcome author Linda Booth Sweeney to the Lincoln Library on Saturday\, M arch 30th for a reading of The Noisy Puddle\, followed by a movement activ ity about vernal pools.

Memb ers Only*\n11:00-1:00 P.M. General Public\n\n*Current LLCT members are inv ited to the early bird hour. LLCT members participating in the sale can al so choose a free groundcover plant to add to their order\, as a gift from us to you. While supplies last. All are welcome to join or renew their me mbership with LLCT when they check out at the sale. LLCT memberships star t at $35/year.\n\nPlants are sourced from Bagley Pond Perennials\, a NH b ased nursery that grows their plants from seed sourced on their farm. All plants are native to the region. Perennials will be available for $7 (quar t sized plants). These plants retail for $10.50 each. LLCT works hard to e nsure our prices are as accessible as possible to our community. Membershi p contributions to LLCT support the plant sale and our planting efforts on conservation land.\n\nLLCT is pleased to offer a selection of groundcover plants this year that support pollinating insects and other wildlife spec ies. These new offerings are in coordination with the Lincoln Common Grou nd (LCG) No Mow May effort. LCG volunteers will be at the plant sale to an swer questions and make recommendations about using groundcovers as lawn r eplacements and garden understory plants.\n\n \;\nView the list of ava ilable plants here.\n \;\n\nWhy plant native? Plants that are native to Massachusetts repopulated the area after the last ice age (between 22\, 000-14\,000 years ago). These plants have had thousands of years to co-evo lve and develop relationships with animals. By planting native plants\, we support those ecosystem-level relationships and bolster local biodiversit y. Not only does this support wildlife\, it also improves local resilience to the impacts of climate change.\n\nAll plants will be sold individually this year. Volunteers will be at the plant sale to answer questions and a ssist customers with their selection. Plants will be organized by bloom ti me and labelled with sun/soil preferences\, bloom color\, and height. You can choose plants that will thrive best in your site’s unique conditions .\n\nIn general\, LLCT recommends selecting species from each bloom time ( early\, mid\, and late summer) to ensure a garden that offers nectar throu ghout the growing season. If your garden space and budget allow\, LLCT rec ommends planting at least 3 plants per species you select.\n\nLLCT’s Pol linator Action Plan is informed by the research of Dr. Rob Gegear. LLCT co ntinues to recommend Dr. Gegear’s plant list as a resource for pollen an d nectar plants that support at-risk long-tongued bees.\n\nLLCT has plenty of Pollinator Pathway Signs\, which will be available at the sale.

How can we predict a "good foliage year"? What animals are rustling through those cr unchy\, fallen leaves\, and what are they doing?\n\nFall foliage in New En gland is beautiful\, unique\, and ecologically important. Specific trees\, climate\, and weather are all needed to create the wide range of colors w e witness. Learn why some trees change color as they shed their leaves\, a nd why the display varies from year to year. The colorful foliage display and subsequent leaf drop are part of an annual cycle that maintains health y habitats. Discover the impact climate change is having on foliage\, how fallen leaves function in an ecosystem\, and how “leaving the leaves” in your yard or neighborhood can help mitigate the impacts of climate chan ge.\n\n\nDive into the seasonal dynamics and science of fall with LLCT on September 19th at 7pm in this free\, zoom program.\n\nThis program is led by Tia Pinney\, a biologist\, senior naturalist\, and educator working out of Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln.  Since 1 994\, she has been involved in sanctuary-based and statewide adult program ming as well as maintaining and enhancing the sanctuary’s habitats and e cosystems. Prior to working at Drumlin Farm\, she was a high school scienc e teacher. Tia grew up on a dairy farm in Connecticut and working at Mass Audubon has been her dream job\, combining her roots in farming and natura l history with her love of science and teaching.\nRegister here for the pr ogram!\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lincolnconservation.org/wp-content/uploa ds/2020/10/IMG_8410.jpg CATEGORIES:Special Program END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:185@lincolnconservation.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241001T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241001T143000 DTSTAMP:20240910T155217Z URL:https://lincolnconservation.org/events/fall-2024-noticing-walks-3/ SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Noticing Walks DESCRIPTION:The Noticing Walks are growing!  This Fall we are adding four additional "mid-month" Wednesday morning walks and continuing to offer fir st Tuesday afternoon walks. \n\nCo-sponsored by LLCT and the COAHS\, thes e walks are all about the journey\, not the destination. The walks are ge ntly paced but cover rough terrain and elevation change.

This past summer\, many communities reported several inch es of rain within just a few hours. On August 8\, more than six inches of rain fell on parts of Massachusetts. Drivers were stranded in their cars. Heavy rains sent bacteria-laden storm water into the ocean and many of our beaches had to close. By October 2\, there had been only five rain-free w eekends since Memorial Day. This is a direct crisis of climate change.\n\n Rain Barrels benefit both communities and our planet by:\n\n Providing a clean\, untreated water source that can be used for gardening and cleaning .\n Decreasing energy consumption and greenhouse emissions at water treat ment plants which is crucial to fighting climate change.\n Reducing water bills up to 40% and can save homeowners 1300 gallons of water annually.\n Using less water helps to sustainably manage water as a global resource\ , ensuring its availability for future generations.\n\nAbout the Program:\ n\n Rain Barrels are offered by The Great American Rain Barrel\n 100% re -purposed\, food grade\, UV protected and BPA free barrels. Produced in Ma ssachusetts. \n Most durable rain barrels on the market: 3/16” wall thi ckness. Screen filtered to keep mosquitoes out.\n Will last for years whe n properly drained &\; stored for winter. Pay for themselves in one yea r.\n Several rain barrels can be linked together — easy 5-minute setup. \n Available Colors: Forest Green\, Earth Brown\, and Nantucket Grey. Als o available unpainted.\n\nHow to Purchase\n\n Rain Barrels are available for purchase by residents at the discounted price of $89.00\n Visit  htt ps://www.greatamericanrainbarrel.com/community/\, Select Lincoln\, Massach usetts\n Deadline to Order: March 23rd\, Midnight.\n Pickup: Friday\, A pril 4th 9:00-11:00am.

As pollin ator populations decline\, soil health diminishes\, and our atmosphere ove rloads with carbon\, plants can play an essential role in restoring ecosys tem health.\n\nSoil ecologist and educator Rachel Neurath will explore the incredible potential of native plants to support pollinators\, store carb on\, and restore soil health. Her focus is community - ecosystem community \, and also our own community\, which can come together and plant for the future.\n\nRachel will explore the above and below ground communities supp orted by some of the plants that LLCT will sell this year in their plant s ale. She will also discuss planting techniques that nurture soil health wh ile helping plants - and all the life they support - thrive.\n\nThis is a free zoom program.

She was a contri buting columnist at the Boston Globe and is a professor at the College of the Holy Cross.\n\nRSVPs open October 18\, 2025\n\nRSVP for In-Person\n\nR SVP for Zoom\n\nMore about Beaverland:\n\nFrom award-winning writer Leila Philip\, BEAVERLAND is a masterful work of narrative science writing\, a b ook that highlights\, through history and contemporary storytelling\, how this unusual rodent has played an oversized role in American history and c ontinues to feature in its future. She follows fur trappers who lead her t hrough waist-high water\, fur traders\, and fur auctioneers\, as well as w ildlife managers\, PETA activists\, Native American environmental vigilant es\, scientists\, engineers\, and the colorful group of activists known as beaver believers.\n\nBeginning with the early trans-Atlantic trade in Nor th America\, Leila Philip traces the beaver’s profound influence on our nation’s early economy and feverish western expansion\, which gave the c ountry its first corporations and multi-millionaires. In her pursuit of th is compellingly wonderful rodent\, she introduces us to people whose lives are devoted to the beaver\, including a Harvard scientist from the Blackf eet Reservation in Montana\, who uses drones to create 3-dimensional image s of beaver dams\; and an environmental restoration consultant in the Ches apeake nicknamed the “beaver whisperer.”\n\nWhat emerges is a poignant personal narrative\, a startling portrait of the secretive world of the c ontemporary fur trade\, and an engrossing ecological and historical invest igation of these heroic animals who\, once trapped to the point of extinct ion\, have returned to the landscape as one of the greatest conservation s tories of the twentieth century. Beautifully written and impeccably resear ched\, BEAVERLAND reveals the profound ways in which one odd animal and th e trade surrounding it has shaped history\, culture\, and our environment.

A Po cket Forest is a densely planted\, multilayered mini-forest — often as s mall as a few parking spaces — that combines many species of native tree s and shrubs to create a thriving\, self-sustaining ecosystem. These fores ts grow quickly and have outsized environmental benefits: they reconnect f ragmented habitats\, accumulate carbon\, reduce water runoff\, improve soi l health\, and foster biodiversity right in our neighborhoods and greenspa ces.\nIn her presentation\, Rachel will explain the concept and practice o f pocket forests\, share why they’re such a simple yet powerful tool aga inst climate change and biodiversity loss\, and explore how even modest sp aces — from underused lawn areas to open sites within towns — can be t ransformed into mini wildlife zones that support pollinators\, birds\, and other native life.\nWhether you’re curious about planting one yourself\ , interested in ecological landscaping\, or passionate about expanding hab itat in our community\, this program will inspire new ways to think about forests in small spaces.\nLocation: Zoom\nHaving trouble registering?
