Description

PLEASE NOTE:

Friday evening's kickoff Keynote is at Arlington Town Hall, 730 Mass Ave, Arlington

The Saturday symposium is at Tufts University, Alumnae Lounge, 40 Talbot Ave, Medford

Please join us! Earthos Institute and Tufts University invite you to a symposium on Alewife corridor collaborative resilience. The symposium will bring together the Alewife corridor communities of Belmont, Arlington, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford, and Winchester to look at the Alewife floodplain in its entirety, and explore collaborative scenarios for tackling issues of resiliency and climate adaptation. Together, we will engage systems-based analysis with multi-community and cross-disciplinary approaches.

Post-symposium, we envision creating task groups—with representatives from multiple towns, universities, and nonprofits—to further develop intercommunity scenarios and seek funding to support and implement them. The goal of the symposium is to create a collaborative environment to build adaptive resilience in this corridor. Symposium topic areas include water quality, flooding, local biodiversity, regional biodiversity, social & economic justice, hazardous waste, and collaborative infrastructure (hard and soft).

For more information, go to the symposium website: www.alewiferesilience.org
