The EIC staff introduces a new series of monthly programs to coax you out of your house in the winter months. Staff members, as well as local speakers, will offer talks on topics of their own interests related to environmental themes including spring ephemeral wildflowers, mushrooms, and our inaugural topic, climate change and its effects on biodiversity. We'll have more to report in our next newsletter, so please stay tuned.

Unprecedented increases in the rate of climate change over the last several decades have come with a number of consequences, including sea level rise, extreme weather, and species extinction. This lecture will focus on how climate change is currently affecting species and biodiversity in Michigan, as well as ways that we can help protect our environment.
