Nature for Newton: Learnings from initial restoration efforts in Newton’s central and largest park

Climate change can already feel overwhelming, and now we have a biodiversity crisis too?

Can local conservation in our own parks and yards make a real difference in protecting wildlife, strengthening forest health, slowing climate change, and improving nature’s ability to adapt? Using Newton's Cold Spring Park restoration efforts as a case study, we will highlight what we are learning from new and ongoing projects to restore native ecosystems and avoid catastrophic ecological tipping points.

Join us to learn why acting locally matters, what’s working, how you can apply this information in your own yard, and how we can create a model for building community to ensure healthy and vibrant natural areas for our wildlife, ourselves, and future generations.

This webinar will feature three presenters:

• Alan Nogee, President, Friends of Cold Spring Park; Board Member, Newton Conservators
• Zach Shein has worked for Parterre Ecological and the Arnold Arboretum and did much of the research for the Natural Resource and Biodiversity Management Plan
• Dr. Jon Regosin, former Deputy Director, Massachusetts Fish & Wildlife; Board Member, Newton Conservators

This free webinar is part of the Newton Conservators Spring 2026 Webinar Series.
