Growing Solar, Protecting Nature Public Presentations - Cape Cod

Massachusetts needs to build more solar energy to clean up our dirty power grid. But that energy shouldn't come at the expense of forests, farmlands, and biodiverse habitats -- natural and working lands absorb one tenth of Massachusetts' greenhouse gas emissions each year.

To protect nature and expand solar energy, Mass Audubon teamed up with researchers at Harvard Forest to conduct a statewide study that proves we can build most of the solar we need on rooftops, parking lots, and already developed lands-with the right policy changes:

Please join our Vice President for Policy and Advocacy, Michelle Manion for a discussion on this important research and our recommendations for how Massachusetts can responsibly meet its solar energy goals.

This event is co-hosted by the Barnstable Land Trust.
