​Celebrating Earth Day Along the Charles River

We celebrated Earth Day with a panel discussion about life along the Charles River. This program is part of the month-long Cambridge Science Festival and one of the quarterly Speaker Series hosted by the Hideo Sasaki Foundation.

The conversation highlighted stewardship of the river, activation of public parks along its banks, and the ecology of the river. We heard an update on the Charles River Floating Wetland and the water quality data that has been collected, a look at ways to enliven the river banks, and how we can all contribute to preserving this special asset.

Panelists:

• Laura Jasinski, Charles River Conservancy
• Jennifer Lawrence, City of Cambridge
• Nick Nelson, Interfluve
• Travis Mazerall, Sasaki (moderator)
