LWV Newton Calendar

John LWVN members for our first discussion about sensible gun legislation.

SAVE THE DATE:  Join LWVMA and a lineup of inspiring speakers at our Spring Conference, "Beyond the March:  Massachusetts Women as Agents of Democracy," April 28 from 9:30 until 2:30 at Clark University in Worcester.  Registration and speaker details will be shared shortly.

 The focus of the conference will be on the serious challenges facing our democratic norms, institutions, and processes and on steps that ordinary citizens can take to repair and protect our democracy. In the current political moment, women in particular are feeling energized to "do something" to fix political institutions that are widely perceived as broken.  The Women's Marches captured much of that energy in an inspiring way, but the question now is how do we harness that energy to effect change and bolster our democracy at the national, state, and local levels.

LWVW and NRC Partner to Present "Speaking for Our Trees"

The League of Women Voters Wellesley and the Wellesley Natural Resources Commission are proud to present "Speaking for Our Trees: A Conversation about Wellesley's Leafy Infrastructure," featuring Dr. David Foster, Director of the Harvard Forest, a 4,000-acre ecological laboratory and classroom in central Massachusetts. Dr. Foster's interests focus on understanding the changes in forest ecosystems that result from human and natural disturbance and applying these results to the conservation and management of natural and cultural landscapes.

As our town considers a stewardship plan for our Town Forest and begins planning for the North 40, come learn why urban forests are so vital to our well being and how to protect them! Please mark your calendars and attend. Flyer attached, feel free to share!  More info: nrc@wellesleyma.gov
