SUMMARY:Webinar on "Nature for Newton: Learnings from Initial Restoration Efforts in Newton’s Central and Largest Park"
DESCRIPTION:Newton Conservators will host a webinar on “Nature for Newton: Learnings from Initial Restoration Efforts in Newton’s Central and Largest Park” (https://newtonconservators.org/events/webinar-nature-for-newton-learnings-from-initial-restoration-efforts-in-newtons-central-and-largest-park/) at 7:00 pm on Thursday\, June 4. Sign up: https://shorturl.at/k5BIx. \nClimate change can already feel overwhelming\, and now we have a biodiversity crisis\, too? Can local conservation in our own parks and yards make a real difference in protecting wildlife\, strengthening forest health\, slowing climate change\, and improving nature’s ability to adapt? Using Cold Spring Park restoration efforts as a case study\, we will highlight what we are learning from new and ongoing projects to restore native ecosystems and avoid catastrophic ecological tipping points. \nJoin us to learn why acting locally matters\, what’s working\, how you can apply this information in your own yard\, and how we can create a model for building community to ensure healthy and vibrant natural areas for our wildlife\, ourselves\, and future generations. \nThis webinar will feature three presenters: \n-Alan Nogee\, President\, Friends of Cold Spring Park and Newton Conservators Board Member \n-Zach Shein has worked for Parterre Ecological and the Arnold Arboretum and did much of the research for the Natural Resource and Biodiversity Management Plan \n-Dr. Jon Regosin\, former Deputy Director of Massachusetts Fish & Wildlife and Newton Conservators’ Board Member

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: The Memory Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Join Newton Cemetery & Arboretum’s 2025-26 Artist-in-Residence Kasey Kaufman for a talk on her Memory Quilt Project\, an evolving series of mixed-media works composed of intimate “memory tiles” built from fragments—images of nature\, place\, objects\, handwriting\, and absence—layered together the way memory itself is formed: imperfectly\, emotionally\, and over time. \nInspired by the cemetery’s history and landscape—and by stories shared by families remembering loved ones buried there—the work reflects themes of grief\, connection\, love\, and remembrance\, and considers what remains after loss. Kasey will share images from the project\, discuss her process and research\, and reflect on how personal and collective memory shape the pieces. \nBefore becoming a full-time artist\, Kaufman spent more than two decades as an award-winning television journalist at WBZ-TV. She now explores storytelling through paint\, texture\, and collage\, exhibits throughout the East Coast\, and is a member of the Copley Society of Art. \nParking is available in the parking lot next to the chapel.\nRegister in advance ~ Space is limited.\nDonations gratefully accepted! Suggested donation: $15
