"Climate Talks" are an opportunity to connect with experts in the field to learn and understand the current effects of climate change and explore ways we can make a difference. This climate talk will discuss the anticipated consequences of climate change already seen in our region include early spring warmup. Tracking the seasonal changes around us can help us understand what's happening in our own yards and neighborhoods. Dr. Sarah Bois will discuss the research findings that are on-going at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation investigating seasonal changes of common shrubs on Nantucket Island. She will also discuss ways to bring this type of research into your own yard\, classroom\, and favorite natural areas. The data we gather together\, both new and historic\, can help provide a bigger picture of climate change in action in our region and beyond. Dr. Sarah Bois is the Director of Research and Education for the Linda Loring Nature Foundation (LLNF) on Nantucket Island\, Massachusetts. As a plant ecologist\, her research has focused on a myriad of conservation and biodiversity topics including non-native invasive species\, native shrub response to climate change\, coastal vulnerability and resiliency\, native pollinator diversity\, and rare species conservation. In her current position\, Sarah oversees management of 275 acres of conservation land which consists of rare species habitat. Her position at LLNF marries her interests in research\, education\, and stewardship where she leverages research experiences into educational opportunities. Sarah received her PhD from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut.
