Climate change has led to an increase in human exposure to heat waves, forest fires, storms, droughts and infectious disease vectors, with consequences to human health and communities. Our morning “Coffee and Climate Science” presentation will explore the impacts of and solutions for NJ residents. Afternoon field activities will provide tools for students and teachers to experience the restorative power of our natural resources- from a single tree to an entire forest. Educators will leave with materials to turnkey lessons back to any classroom setting that will help them in turn focus on their own communities.
