 To raise Rhode Islanders' awareness of the effects of climate change on Narragansett Bay, our coastal areas, and our communities, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will chair a field briefing of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works at URI's Bay Campus in Narragansett, next Thursday, August 21, at 10:30 a.m. The briefing is open to the public.
"Left unchecked, climate change will affect every community in every nation on earth, altering our Ocean State -- and the entire world -- in ways we are only beginning to understand, and coastal communities will be among those at greatest risk," said Sen. Whitehouse. "This issue is real, time is of the essence, and action is called for." Members of Rhode Island's scientific and environmental advocacy communities will present evidence of the impacts of climate change on the Bay and discuss ways in which the state can prepare. The briefing is considered to be an official meeting of the E&PW Committee, and its proceedings will be entered into the Committee's official record. Click on "More..." for more details.

Brace yourself -- it is not too soon to be thinking about plans for Fall! And one great thing to do in the Fall is to learn something new. The RI Tree Council's Tree Stewards Course is a great place to do just that, and this program has gotten rave reviews from every graduate we've run across. You can sign up now at the RI Tree Web site. The course consists of six evening classes (2.5 hours each), plus two outdoor workshops, each about 3 or 4 hours long. At the end, you will be a Tree Steward with lots of ideas and tools for promoting and protecting a healthy forest in your community. Classes start Sept. 9, in Jamestown, and you get the full course for just $65.
