Gardening & Climate Action: Creating Community Connections

In partnership with our neighbors at the Nurture Nature Center, join us for a virtual dialogue on how we, both individually and as a community, can contribute to a greener future for all. From initiatives like their urban recycle garden, pocket parks, and microforests, the Nurture Nature Center has been a leading advocate across the Lehigh Valley for mitigating the effects of climate change. Nationally recognized for its local initiatives, NNC blends art, science, and community dialogue to provide programs for youth, families, and individuals alike. This program will be both informative and participatory – what questions do you have for your community? How can we begin to enact positive change, even in our own backyards? Explore, learn, discover, and discuss how even small-scale impacts can create lasting change in the neighborhoods we call home. About our speaker: Kathryn (Kate) Semmens is the Science Director of the Nurture Nature Center. She helps lead NNC’s science education, climate action, and community resiliency projects, and is involved in numerous social science research projects. She holds a Ph.D. in environmental and earth sciences from Lehigh University, a master’s degree from the University of Delaware and a bachelor of science in environmental studies from Ursinus College. Kate is passionate about the integration of science and art and enjoys working with youth on important issues like climate action. She is a mom to three young children and in the little free time she has you can find her hiking in nature. This program is free for NCHGS members and $10.00 for non-members. Registration is required. This program is being funded in whole or in part with funding from the Hotel Tax Grant Program through the County of Northampton Department of Community & Economic Engagement.
