CLIMATE CHANGE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES HUMANITY HAS EVER FACED. Our new Climate Solutions exhibit, opening this summer, asks: What can we do about it? The exhibit puts a spotlight on Adirondackers who are making extraordinary contributions to shift the narrative on this story. They’re not passive bystanders—they’re active participants, addressing climate change in their homes and hometowns. In the exhibit, which fills our Find Out Forest, you’ll encounter farmers who are relying on research to find more climate-friendly agricultural practices, storytellers who help us understand science through art, builders who ensure function is as elegant as form and environmental 2
experts who are keeping a close eye on the ecosystems that surround us. You’ll also meet people who are ensuring underrepresented voices—those of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)—are included in these conversations. The biggest step to take, though, won’t happen until you leave The Wild Center—and, we hope, find your own Climate Solution. We’ll get you started. An interactive “Tinkering Studio” will let you get some hands-on experience with tools used by our experts. And throughout, we’ll give you fodder for ways you can quickly incorporate meaningful solutions into your own life, whether that’s by considering public transit, participating in local government, finding new uses for items you’d otherwise dispose of or paying more attention to the clothes you buy.
