Lessons Learned from Hurricane Sandy: Protecting Watershed Resources in a Changing Climate
Please join us on Tuesday, January 29th at the Sheraton Colonial Boston North Hotel and Conference Center on One Audubon Road in Wakefield to hear about what worked and didn't work as public officials along the East coast responded to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy last fall. We will also explore how some of the lessons learned from this tragedy can inform our local and regional efforts to protect watershed resources in a changing climate. This event is geared toward municipal officials, conservation commission members, community leaders, town planners, residents, environmental groups, and anyone involved with
protecting coastal or watershed resources. Participants will have a chance to hear from expert panelists and provide valuable input into ongoing planning efforts.
