The Rockland Public Library presents Dr. Lenny Reich, Thursday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m., over Zoom. This event is free and open to all.
What is this Maine Climate Action Plan you’ve been hearing about? The Maine Climate Council submitted their final plans to Governor Mills in December 2020. The Maine Climate Plan covers a lot of ground, and this program, intended for a general audience, seeks to inform Mainers about what is on the horizon.
Dr. Reich will discuss what the Maine Climate Plan means for Rockland and other towns and cities in Maine. A Q&A will follow the presentation.
