Our July Flood Talk Friday features Joie Grandbois from Historic New England sharing their climate action plan for Casey Farm.

Historic Preservation and Climate Action PlanningWhat role does historic preservation have to play in climate action planning, and how can we protect our sites from the impacts of climate change? Joie Grandbois, Sustainability Coordinator at Historic New England, will join us on July 26th to talk about climate action planning for historic sites, including the planning Historic New England has done for Casey Farm in Rhode Island, and how historic sites can help us tell the story of climate change. Meet Joie GrandboisJoie Grandbois is the Sustainability Coordinator for Historic New England. Joie is a skilled storyteller who excels in conveying complex environmental concepts with clarity and passion. Born and raised in New England, she has witnessed the impacts of climate change and observed the remarkable recovery of rivers and forests due to environmental legislation. Her firsthand experience of New England's changing climate led Joie to leverage her deep-rooted connection to the region and her background in environmental economics consulting to become a powerful advocate for environmental stewardship. At Historic New England, Joie facilitates climate action planning that connects historic preservation with a sustainable future. Armed with a degree in sustainable business and a minor in environmental sustainability from the University of Southern Maine and a Permaculture Design Certificate from Permaculture Institute of North America, Joie brings a unique blend of academic and practical knowledge to her role. Her experience includes assessing the impact of rising sea levels in Maine, contributing to watershed assessments for the Long Island Sound, and connecting land conservation with economic outcomes in Massachusetts. Joie's love of storytelling extends beyond her professional endeavors; as a graduate of the Portland History Docent program, she designs and conducts walking tours in Southern Maine that intertwine local history with sustainability themes.
