Wellesley Neighbors Events - Event View

The challenges our communities face since the Wellesley Conservation Land Trust's (WCLT's ) founding in 1958 continue to evolve and grow: extreme weather events; loss of green spaces to development; need for more housing; connecting kids and adults to nature. In this talk, you'll learn about how the WCLT is applying its mission--to protect the natural environment in Wellesley, educate youth and interest adults in matters of conservation--to today's challenges, and making a difference! Come learn how you can help us make a bigger impact in Wellesley and our neighboring communities.
