Fundamentals of Communicating About Climate Change

Event Location: Zoom Webinar.

Registration link: https://bit.ly/34Qzpy7

Ever try to communicate something that’s really important to someone and you just don’t know how to get them to listen — let alone get them to take action? It’s climate change. It’s real. It’s all around us. It’s not political. And it requires action. Take action in joining our panelists for The Fundamentals of Communicating About Climate Change event in which we will delve into topics together such as: framing language that leads to successful connections in communication, how education around climate change exists currently in our lives & communities and how it can be improved upon, and how to spark communication into action in others as well as within ourselves. Tired of unsuccessful communication around climate change? We are too. Let’s learn together about how to talk about it right.

**our event is a FREE virtual event in which we encourage absolutely anyone & everyone who is interested in these topics to attend!

Event Panelists:
Rishya Narayanan from Mass Audubon
Simone C. from Spring Forward
Frida G. from Spring Forward
Lindsay Jordan from National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation (NNOCCI) & the New England Aquarium

VIRTUAL PRESENTATION: Easy Walks with Marjorie Turner Hollman

The Tilton Library is co-hosting the Free virtual program!

Are you looking to get outside, but don’t know where to start? Looking for an inclusive hike that everyone from small children to people with limited mobility can enjoy? Join Libraries in the Woods – a collaborative group of 20+ Franklin County libraries – on Zoom for this great program! Email the Tilton Library at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org for the link.

The outdoors has been a refuge for many of us throughout the pandemic this year. However, many places we visit are crowded, and some are not well-suited to our abilities.

Marjorie has lots of suggestions, experience and ideas that can help you have a more positive experience in the outdoors. She has traveled all over Massachusetts, and will share photos, recommend great places, and share “How to find” strategies and suggestions. Her presentation will also include basics about dressing in layers, what to bring with you, how to carry things safely and more.

Marjorie Turner Hollman is a writer who loves the outdoors, and has completed three guides to Easy Walking trails in Massachusetts. She has recently released her latest book, Finding Easy Walks Wherever You Are. With limited mobility, she uses hiking poles when heading outdoors. She has been published in local, regional, and national publications. https://marjorieturner.com/easy-walks/

The Tilton is co-hosting this FREE Virtual program, sponsored by The Northfield Public Library and Libraries in the Woods.

A virtual presentation by John R. Nelson, author of 2019 book Flight Calls: Exploring Massachusetts through Birds.

John writes, “In search of birds I’ve gone further and further afield, first to birdy spots around Massachusetts…next cross-country to the Rio Grande and saguaro deserts, then beyond to whole new families of birds in Belize, Brazil, Botswana, Bhutan, and Borneo….The more time I spend with birds, the more they’ve become sources of stimulation, not just visual treats or searches rewarded. They’ve catalyzed the childlike curiosity, one of the great blessings of being human, that becomes dormant in so many of us.”
