The Future of Nature

Save the Date(s)! Be a part of our Boston speaker series.

What is the Future of Nature? By 2050, the Earth’s population is expected to exceed 9 billion. Our climate is changing, and we all will have a role to play in making sure that nature can continue to meet the needs of the people and species who rely on it.

Be a part of this community conversation at the Future of Nature lecture series that the Conservancy will co-sponsor with WBUR this spring. Each night will feature national and global thought leaders discussing the most critical conservation challenges of our time, as well as a pre-event reception with refreshments, good conversation, and activities and info that bring you closer to the work to save nature.
Join us for a reception before each event.

You can reserve your ticket online for each event, but act soon! Some sessions will sell out quickly.
Cost: $25 per event.
