Ashburnham Holding Climate Change Workshop
The town of Ashburnham is holding a Climate Change Action Workshop on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 – 5:30pm at Town Hall Auditorium. The Nashua River Watershed Association is working with the cities of Leominster and Fitchburg, and the towns of Ashburnham, Groton, and Pepperell to create a watershed-wide climate action plan using Nature-based Solutions.
According to the association, predictions in this area include extreme weather, rising temperatures, flooding, drought, and others. “These effects impact many areas in our community such as human health, water and air quality, infrastructure, and ecological systems.”
Examples given of nature-based solutions include rain gardens, bioswales, biofilters, green roofs, greenways, permeable pavement, pavement removal, wetland restoration etc. The workshop will get citizen input. “We want your input, help us understand your climate change concerns!” Register for any of the area workshops at this website:
