The Charles River Watershed Association has created a flood monitoring tool that shows flooding scenarios and the impacts of potential green infrastructure solutions along the Charles. This will equip watershed communities with the best information on community-specific impacts of climate change, helping to guide local investment, regulatory changes and predict the best ways to respond to flooding.

They want to hear from you! Their next Zoom discussion will focus on the tool’s relevance to the Middle parts of the watershed including Dedham, Newton, Belmont, Lexington, Lincoln, Wellesley, Weston, Waltham, Needham, Dover, Wayland, and Natick. Please join and give input about your own climate-related stressors, your opinions about changing infrastructure, and your hopes for building climate resilience in your community! Share this email with your fellow residents, this is a conversation for everyone!

April 1st, 6:30-7:30 pm via Zoom  RSVP HERE!
