Three interactive workshops to help Community League members learn about:
- climate trends
- prepare for extreme weather events
- develop an adaptation action plan
Each session builds on information from the session before, so participants should sign-up for and plan to attend all three sessions to get the most out of the workshop.
Please ensure you register for all three dates
