As the climate changes, species can be expected to relocate, with fauna and flora migrating at different rates. Some will survive the disruption, others not. Identifying places that will sustain a large variety of species despite changing climate, a characteristic known as “resilience,” has been a priority of conservationists in recent years.

The Norfolk Land Trust will host a talk in conjunction with the Open Spaces Institute on “Climate Resilience for Biodiversity: New Science on Places to Protect and What Land Trusts Can Do About It” on January 24, 2015 at 12:30 p.m. at the Norfolk Curling Club. More information is available on the land trust’s website, www.norfolklandtrust.org.
