Welcome to Climate Action Day 2018, Exeter’s fourth annual day devoted to climate education for our community! The Committee is so excited about this year’s lineup of events and workshops, which we hope you will peruse as you contemplate what draws you in.

We hope you encounter the amazing student environmental work happening on campus, and so we are offering the following workshops and events designed and facilitated by students: The Exeter Exchange workshop; an E-proctor Hydroponics workshop; a Divest Exeter! workshop; performances by the Concert Choir featuring Eric Sinclair and Democracy of Sound (exeter); The Three Ecologies, a community film festival hosted by the Lamont Gallery featuring original short films by students and faculty as well as performances by Art and Activism club, Exeteras, and PEADS.

We encourage you to scan the rest of the workshop slate, which contains an array of visiting speakers, scholars, and activists as well as myriad opportunities to head outside and get your hands dirty doing helpful environmental field work.

If you take the 20 mile journey from Exeter’s boathouse down the Squamscott River to the Ocean, you will pass through Great Bay.  Great Bay is New Hampshire’s largest estuarine ecosystem with over 6,000 acres of tidal habitat, that are inextricably linked to the ocean beyond.  Come work with the Blue Ocean Society and learn how climate change is impacting the organisms of Great Bay.  The Society will direct a clean-up in the marshes and along the shoreline of Great Bay and coordinate data collection as we work to leave the bay healthier than we found it.

Wear warm clothes and cloves, and bring a water bottle.  Please remember to wear boots, long pants, and light-colored clothing, and to use an insect spray such as Deep Woods Off to reduce the risk of a tick bite, as ticks in this area may carry Lyme Disease.  After the workshop, please conduct a tick check on yourself.

NOTE:  This session leaves at 1:00 NOT 1:30!!  BE ON TIME!   Meet your bus at the Data Center Parking Lot.
