Waltham Land Trust 25th Annual Meeting

Help celebrate our 25th anniversary by attending our annual meeting.

Our guest speaker will be Michael Barnett, a professor of Science Education and Technology with Boston College who is 2024 Finalist Presidential Award for Excellence in STEM Mentoring (https://paesmem.nsf.gov/), CASE/Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Professor of the Year for Massachusetts. He has been a visiting scholar at American Forests and Visiting Research Professor at National Geographic. Professor Barnett works with youth who are have historically excluded from STEM around the nation and the world, and has been working with Waltham youth for the past 20 years where much of the work is piloted and tested. He and his team, in collaboration with the Charles River Museum of Industry, have created the flagship Charles River Collaboratory and will share the research that the youth are working on around environmental and scientific data through making and designing tools and resources here in Waltham.

At the annual meeting, we’ll also provide updates on the projects we’re tackling, celebrate our Inge Uhlir Environmentalist of the Year, and vote on new/returning WLT Directors. Plus, we’ll get to enjoy Toscanini’s ice cream at the end!
