The Climate Lab

Working in partnership with the Manomet Center for Conservation Sceinces, Wildlands Trust will be piloting the Climate Lab in spring 2012. This is an environmental education project in which middle and high school students will collect data on indicators and learn about climate change adaptation and mitigation. Engaged in standardized data collection, students will develop increased knowledge of local natural systems, the impacts of climate change, and a better understanding of scientific methodology. The students' work will contribute to a database on local climate change used by Manomet scientists, building on the climate change adaptation strategies already being developed by Manomet.

Over the next few months, Wildlands Trust and the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences will be identifying study plots, delineating transects, and preparing the lab for its pilot run with students in Spring 2012.
