“Sustainable EweMass is meant to be a community conversation about how we use and care for our shared lands,” says UMass Amherst wildlife conservation lecturer, Kelly Klingler. “This interdisciplinary project offers us an opportunity to consider how we might employ sustainable and traditional forms of land management while also promoting inclusive access to green spaces which we know are critical to the health and well-being of our community members.”

The two-day public series of events and activities includes everything from a workshop on terroir, an art exhibit, “Mapping Terroir: Memory & Myth,” by Andrea Caluori, a wool-dying demonstration and much more.
