Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a pre-event reception.

Join us for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Brock Environmental Center Climate Lecture Series, featuring Ryan Walsh, Senior Coastal Restoration Manager for the James River Association, and Kati Grigsby, Hampton Roads Restoration Coordinator for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. They will explore the increasing threat of sea level rise, the importance of protecting tidewater habitats, and how green infrastructure solutions—such as living shorelines, rain gardens, and tree plantings—can build coastal resilience and safeguard tidal communities.

This lecture series aims to bring together a diverse group of community members to share their expertise and experiences on the pressing issues surrounding climate change and its impact on the Chesapeake Bay. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and learn more about how climate change affects us all.

This series is sponsored by Planetary Technologies, CMA CGM, and Cox Communications.
