MUC GoFundMe: Conservation Nationwide and in Massachusetts with Village & Wilderness. Thu Sep 18th, 5 pm – 5:30 pm Zoom.
.
We'll have a lively discussion about all things conservation:
- The Village & Wilderness nationwide network of microhabitat programs.
- Our shared interest in conservation and setting aside land.
- Tom's long work engaging with the public on the need for conservation.
- Tom and Tripti's efforts to restore nature to fragmented spaces through the Microhabitat Accelerator.
Attendees will leave feeling inspired to support our GoFundMe and launch this new MassLandlords and public service.
Our interviewer will be Eric Weld, MassLandlords writer, journalist and editor but also President of the Massachusetts Urban Conservancy. Besides doing outstanding work writing for MassLandlords, Eric has been a lifetime advocate for a cleaner, wilder environment; a nature and adventure writer for more than 20 years; and a lover of and participant in nature and the outdoors since early childhood. This is why when we created MUC, Eric was a great choice to lead the new effort. Eric has circumnavigated the globe twice, lived on four continents, summitted Mt. Fuji, bicycled across the USA, and thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail. As a father of two, he also has personal interest in fortifying earth’s environment and livability for the sake of generations to come. Eric lives in Easthampton, Mass., in his idea of the perfect location: a wildlife preserve abutting his backyard and a bike path across the street.
One of our two guest speakers will be Tom Chase, Village and Wilderness Founder and Executive Director. Tom has long experience working in conservation and aligning resources to support native plant and animal habitat. He worked nine years at the Trustees of Reservations, partly in the role of ecologist. He worked 26 years in two director positions at the Nature Conservancy. He founded Village and Wilderness in 2020.
Our other guest speaker will be Tripti Travers-Thomas, Program Director, Microhabitat Accelerator, Village and Wilderness. Tripti has had a lifelong love of birds, plants and trees. She has a public policy degree, and is also certified in native plants and in horticulture and design by the Native Plant Trust. She became communications manager for Village and Wilderness in 2023 and is now directing the Microhabitat Accelerator at Village and Wilderness.
