Join the Framingham Public Library and Joy Marzolf, Owner of The Joys of Nature, for a talk about Climate Change in Metrowest and Beyond?.  Massachusetts has changed much in the last 400 years: from forest to farm to town and now in many places, suburbs. Now, more recently, we are seeing rapid changes going on around us. From weather extremes like warmer winters and colder, wetter springs to spells of drought and extensive heat, torrential downpours and tornado warnings. How are these and other changes affecting our area wildlife and us? Find out more and discuss what each of us can do to make a difference.
