Mark King–Protecting Land, Preserving Our Future: How Land Trusts Combat Climate Change
Mark King of the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy will explore the crucial role of land trusts in combating climate change. Through his presentation, you’ll learn about the Conservancy’s efforts in preserving undeveloped land, a vital strategy for protecting natural ecosystems that are essential to the health of both our planet and our communities. Mark will also highlight the importance of land connectivity, particularly between the Catskills and the Adirondacks, and how natural corridors help mitigate climate impact while fostering stronger connections between people and the environment. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of how protecting land can help build a more sustainable and resilient future.
