Trainings & Events

According to NOAA, most hurricane activity in the US occurs August through October, with a peak just about the time kids return to school in September. And if you think Connecticut’s immune, think again. With global warming adding to the frequency and intensity of weather events, we thought it would be timely and informative to highlight some of the efforts municipalities are making at the local level to mitigate and combat climate change. Hold on to your hats and join us for the August Coffee Hour where Bill Pollack, landscape architect for Fairfield’s Jennings Beach Project will talk about the steps needed to preserve beaches and protect inland communities; and Randy Walikonis, Mansfield School Building Committee chair, will share the trials and tribulations – and triumphs – of pursuing a net-zero building project for the Mansfield Elementary School. The August Coffee Hour is sure to blow you away.
