Join us for a fun evening led by our very own Natural Resource Technician, Joko McTeer! This evening will be about gaining more knowledge regarding the origin of rocks and soils and how to better understand them. We will have a hands-on soil testing portion towards the end of this event where you will learn multiple ways to test soil so that you can harness the power of soil in restoration and gardening projects!
What is the future we want for America's largest coral reefs? These delicate ecosystems support marine life and human endeavors, but climate change is threatening the existence of these natural, and human communities, alike. There are several climate models addressing marine life impacts, however the cost to run models is a barrier to the communities who need them most. Together with the model metrics and insight from community members, this research will provide adaptation techniques that are meaningful to the local community.
