Learn from local experts

Ipswich River Watershed Association
Rachel Schneider, expert in green gardening and resident-led restoration
The Ipswich River is being loved to death. Recently named one of the 10 Most Endangered Rivers in the country, the river is being overused by the 14 municipalities that draw some or all of their water from this watershed. Learn how to keep water cleaner, save time and money, and support local wildlife while increasing the sustainability of this vital resource for our communities.

Sustainable Marblehead
Steve Wolf, environmental scientist for the EPA
One bond we all share is the need for potable water coupled with a way to manage our water waste. This talk will provide background on the flow of fresh and salt water that connects our communities. Learn what similarities and differences among our waterways are crucial to our management of these resources and ability to adapt to a changing climate.
