Speaker Series PDFs, Videos and Other Resources

Corinne Michaud-LeBlanc, Climate Coordinator for Maine's Beginning with Habitat program, gave two presentations introducing the program to audiences in Waterville and Newport.  The second presentation focused on rare species found within the Sebasticook River Watershed and how climate change is making these plants and wildlife more vulnerable. She discussed strategies for climate resilience focused on examples within the SRLT service area, and a video of this presentation can be found here.
