Our world is changing. The effects of climate change are all around us, impacting our daily lives, our homes, where we work, where our children play, and the places that we love. For coastal states like Massachusetts, our shores are on the front lines of these shifts, with visible, often dramatic transformations. As the state’s largest private owner of coastal property, the Trustees of Reservations is working to protect some of our most vulnerable places—cultural and historic treasures—for today and for future generations. In this podcast we will share with you not only the “why,” but the “what.” The boots-on-the-ground, action happening in and around your communities as part of our coastal vision. The time to act is now—and we’re on it. Welcome to: Trustees on the Coast!
