Join us for an informative talk by Andre Torres on the pressing issue of light pollution. This session will cover three key aspects: the causes of light pollution, its effects on the environment—including human, animal, and plant life—and practical steps to reduce our impact on this growing concern. With a focus on environmental implications, Torres will offer insights into how individuals and communities can limit their contributions to light pollution.

If weather permits, stick around for a stargazing session after the talk! Andre will bring a portable telescope for guided night sky exploration.

Conservation Commission Community Education event

Introduction to mapping utilizing the Town's online mapping system and the State's Granit online mapping system. We'd pick a town parcel or two to use as a demonstration on the big screen, picking a feature or two, and maybe make a quick map then if folks wanted to bring their laptop they could look at their parcel and ask questions about how to use the mapping features. 

Tuesday, February 18th at 6:30 pm at PRML with a snow date of the 25th.
