For the past four years, about two dozen communities in the Charles River Climate Compact (CRCC) (including Lincoln) have collaborated with Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) and Weston & Sampson to identify opportunities to reduce flooding and build resilience to climate change. Join CRWA to learn about innovative green and grey flood mitigation solutions, how we could use ponds for added storage and their potential to reduce extreme flooding, and actionable recommendations to safeguard our watershed’s future. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation!

Known as “birding by ear,” this technique also helps those with limited vision enjoy a birding adventure. Visit: https://www.massaudubon.org/news/latest/calls-of-spring-birding-by-ear to listen along, then hit the trails and hear the calls in action. Birder's Tip: Download the Merlin app from Cornell Lab of Ornithology to record and identify bird calls on the go.
