Mass Audubon is collaborating with noted Brookline documentarian Aynsley Floyd to present her latest film, “Turkey Town,” Tuesday evening, September 20, at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline. Strong advance ticket sales prompted the event to move the 7-9 p.m. screening/panel discussion to the theatre’s largest viewing room, the 432-seat Moviehouse 1.

Mass Audubon’s annual statewide photography contest, Picture This: Your Great Outdoors, is down to its final few weeks, but still encouraging shutterbugs of all abilities to enter.

The fourth-annual Arcadia Folk Festival at Mass Audubon’s Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary is less than a month away! Presented by premier concert promoter Signature Sounds, the festival will take place at the popular wildlife sanctuary in the heart of the Connecticut River Valley on Saturday, September 17, from 10 am to 6:30 pm.

“Remarkably, after decades of near-misses on major federal proposals to address climate change, the U.S. Congress has passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which includes $370 billion for climate and clean energy measures. It’s an extraordinary and historic moment, heralding the most important climate legislation ever passed in this country – and it comes just after Gov. Baker signed a landmark climate and offshore wind bill into law Thursday in Massachusetts.

With Governor Baker’s signature today of the bill for climate and offshore wind developed over months of negotiation between Senate and House leaders, Massachusetts continues its track record as a global leader in regulating climate pollution. In their legislation, the  legislature set forth an exciting set of policies designed to enable the ambitious reductions in greenhouse (GHG) emissions required by the Next-Generation Climate Roadmap.
