SUMMARY:Each Town Should Have a Park: 100 New National Parks for America with Michael Kellett
DESCRIPTION:Join The Walden Woods Project and RESTORE: The North Woods for a presentation from Michael Kellett about the campaign for new national parks\, why it is important\, and how we can build grassroots support to make this vision a reality. \n \nAbout the presentation: \nHenry David Thoreau had the far-sighted vision to declare\, “Each town should have a park.” Yet\, the people in most American towns still do not have ready access to a large public park. Potential future parks are being lost to resource exploitation and development. The New National Parks campaign has proposed 100 new national parks — at least one in each state. As the nation approaches its 250th celebration in 2026\, this bold vision would celebrate our natural heritage and bring the benefits of nature and the beloved tradition of national parks closer to millions of people. This would relieve pressure on existing parks\, help fight climate change\, and avoid biodiversity loss. We need to create more parks\, before it is too late. \nAbout Michael Kellett: \nMichael Kellett is executive director of RESTORE: The North Woods\, a New England-based nonprofit organization he co-founded in 1992. He has 40 years of experience in the land conservation movement\, including developing the proposal for a 3.2 million-acre Maine Woods National Park\, which led to President Obama’s 2016 designation of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. He has visited more than 250 national park areas across the country. \nWhen: December 4\, 7:00-8:00 pm EST. \nWhere: ZOOM \nRegistration required.  \nCo-sponsored by RESTORE: The North Woods.

SUMMARY:Join Our Campaign to Protect Wildlands in Massachusetts!
DESCRIPTION:Do you find solace in woods and other wild places? \nWould you like to join a positive\, collaborative campaign that will protect wildlife areas where you live and across the Commonwealth? \nClimate Action Now welcomes individuals and organizations ready to take action to identify and protect priority Wildlands to join our new campaign. Learn about the campaign here\, and sign up for our first campaign planning meeting on December 11 at 6:30pm here. \nClimate Action Now’s Regenerative Farming\, Forests and Food Systems group decided to launch the Wildlands campaign in response to the report Wildlands in New England: Past\, Present\, and Future and because we understand that: \n\nHealthy forests are key for carbon storage\, biodiversity\, regulating planetary systems and our well-being;\nOur state is 60% forested but only 2% has been preserved as Wildlands — much of which lacks permanent protection;\nIn a time when our ecosystem is under assault\, protecting nature is an act of love and a defense of life itself.\n\nWe look forward to seeing you at our first meeting at 6:30pm on December 11th!
