Chocorua Lake Conservancy hosting climate change forum
January 21, 2021NORTH CONWAY As climate change impacts our ecosystems and our local communities, how can we work together to mitigate its effects, and to adapt to them?
On Wednesday, Feb. 3 from 6:30-8 p.m. via Zoom, the public is invited to participate in Recreating in a Changing Climate, a Sense of Place community forum.
