Where Science Meets Stewardship: Advancing Nature-Based Climate Solutions on Nantucket
Join Woodwell Climate and the Nantucket Conservation Foundation for a special Climate Conversations on the Road event exploring how science and stewardship can work hand in hand to advance practical climate solutions.
Moderated by Woodwell President & CEO Max Holmes, the evening will begin with a candid seaside conversation between Holmes and Cormac Collier, President & CEO of the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, followed by a panel discussion featuring:
- Chris Neill | Senior Scientist, Woodwell Climate
- Karen Beattie | Vice President of Science & Stewardship, NCF
- Emily Junkins | Coastal Wetlands Research Ecologist, NCF
- Kelly Omand | Plant Research Ecologist/Botanist, NCF
Together, they will share insights from collaborative efforts in grassland management, wetland and bog restoration, coastal resilience, carbon storage, and landscape-scale monitoring—highlighting how local action, grounded in rigorous science, can deliver tangible climate and conservation impacts across Nantucket and beyond.
As part of our On the Road Series, this event will take place on Nantucket and be offered in-person only. Please register in advance.
Woodwell Climate Conversations is a monthly event series designed to engage our community and foster meaningful discussion about climate change and its impacts. This series provides a platform for both in-person and virtual discussions, workshops, and presentations.
Select lectures will be available both in-person and virtually, with recordings available on the Woodwell Climate website at a later date.
