HARVARD’S CLIMATE INITIATIVE COMMITTEE  debuts our collaborative educational series, KNOW YOUR LAND. Designed to enlighten and engage, the series kicked off with an immersive event titled Forest Health in Harvard: the Good, the Bad, and the Healthy.

On October 14th (Rain date October 15th), join us for a guided walk through the conservation land at Horse Meadows Knoll and a portion of the Muller Trail where you will meet and talk with local forestry experts about forest health. You will learn how to recognize hallmarks of a robust forest and identify some of the invasive species threatening our green spaces. But that’s not all! This event is for the entire family.

At the heart of this endeavor is the series’ mission: to empower our community with knowledge about Harvard’s natural environments. By understanding how to care for and protect our land, we can ensure its health and beauty for generations to come.

Come, dive into nature, understand your land better, and become more aware of Harvard’s beautiful forests. Together, let’s embark on this journey towards a brighter, greener future!
