SUMMARY:Webinar on "Nature for Newton: Learnings from Initial Restoration Efforts in Newton’s Central and Largest Park"

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
