Your Voice Matters: Rachel Carson, the Environmental Movement, and You: Tuesday October 19th, and Thursday, October 21st at 3:30pm

 

In celebration of Hudson Valley Climate Solutions Week, Nancy Castaldo, National Geographic Educator and author of Back from the Brink: Saving Animals from Extinction, will lead a virtual program for youth ages 10 to 12 years to learn about the work of Rachel Carson and how they can use their own voices to make a difference as environmental advocates.

This two part workshop will focus on the history of Rachel Carson’s work to expose and address the threats of DDT to birds, the effects of her advocacy at the local level with the resurgence of bald eagles here in the Hudson Valley, and advocacy tools for people of all ages to voice their concerns about environmental issues and help make a difference locally and globally.

Join Nancy on Zoom, Tuesday, October 19 and Thursday, October 21 from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, to discuss past and present environmental issues and learn how to use your voice.

Advance registration for this online program is required. Contact the Chatham Public Library at  kleinr@chatham.k12.ny.us or 518-392-3666 to receive the Zoom link.

This program is made possible by a generous grant from the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club. For more information visit midhudsonadk.org.
