SUMMARY:How Massachusetts Can Lower Energy Bills By Cutting Corporate Giveaways
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder why Massachusetts has such high energy bills and what the state can do about it? In this webinar\, Policy Advocate Carrie Katan and Executive Director Larry Chretien will explain how utilities’ incentive to overspend\, a gas importer’s stranglehold over the state\, and outdated subsidies all drive up costs. We will also discuss how the Senate’s upcoming energy bill is a chance to tackle these issues. (Note: This webinar is being offered on May 12 and May 20.) \nRegister for May 20

SUMMARY:Little Bugs in the Big City: Urban Pollinator Habitat Gardening
DESCRIPTION:With urban real estate at such a premium\, how do our smallest neighbors – especially pollinating insects – make their way? What can we do to help them survive and thrive? In the concrete jungle\, is it worth it to even try? Over two decades\, speaker Chris Kreussling has transformed a barren conventional landscape into a vibrant example of urban gardening for biodiversity. Using their garden as an example\, they will review some typical challenges for urban gardeners and explain how to find and create habitat opportunities in city gardens.  \nChris Kreussling (Flatbush Gardener)\, a New York Master Naturalist and Certified Interpretive Guide\, has gardened in NYC for 45 years. In their current small Brooklyn garden\, they grow over 150 NYC-native plant species\, and documented over 500 insect species. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Learnings from Initial Restoration Efforts in Newton’s Central and Largest Park
DESCRIPTION:Climate change can already feel overwhelming\, and now we have a biodiversity crisis\, too? \nCan 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. This webinar will feature three presenters: \n\nAlan Nogee\, President of Friends of Cold Spring Park and Newton Conservators Board Member\nZach Shein\, who has worked with Parterre Ecological and the Arnold Arboretum and did much of the research for the Natural Resource and Biodiversity Management Plan\nDr. Jon Regosin\, former Deputy Director of Massachusetts Fish & Wildlife and Newton Conservators’ Board Member\n\nIf you have questions\, please contact Webinars@newtonconservators.org. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Workshop: Build Your Own Self-Watering Veggie Planter
DESCRIPTION:Fulfilled Goods is all about reusing and repurposing existing materials vs. tossing them in a landfill. Many of the products in the refillery come in 5 gallon buckets. The empties are usually sent back to their closed-loop partners to clean and reuse\, but this time around they are holding on to them for global buckets – a self-watering planter made from 5 gallon buckets. \nJoin the Fulfilled Goods team and Farmer Tim (the store’s CSA partner*) as he demonstrates how to build a global bucket. You’ll be provided all the supplies you need including composted soil courtesy of Black Earth Composting. Farmer Tim will be bringing a variety of tomato\, pepper\, and eggplant plants from his greenhouse for you to choose from. You’ll go home with your own self-watering planter ready to go! (or rather\, ready to GROW! ) \nWorkshop cost: $35 \n*Interested in locally grown veggies all summer? There are still spots left in the CSA. ($540 for 20 weeks; pickup on Wednesdays at Fulfilled Goods)
