The Western PA Conservancy will host a free webinar on Conservation In A Changing Climate on October 22 from Noon to 1:00 p.m.

The impacts of our changing climate become more apparent with every season. How is climate change affecting our region’s species and how are conservationists reacting in order to increase survival chances for the most vulnerable species and habitats?

Join Charles Bier, WPC’s senior director of conservation science, for answers to these important questions.

As climate change alters the environment, nature is responding with changes in habitats and populations of plants and animals. This changing world requires a reevaluation of conservation practices to help protect habitats and species.

Essential to this work is increasing efforts to protect resilient landscapes, certain under-protected habitats and corridors that allow species to travel to more hospitable locations as conditions change.

For decades, Charles has studied the changing climate and will share his insight and hope on this important topic. Explore some of the patterns that are continuing to emerge due to climate change, and how the Conservancy is addressing these conditions through our conservation science and land and water protection work.
