What weāre about
Before the pandemic, we got together to learn, discuss, understand - to spread hope for a livable climate in the decades to come by sharing knowledge of regenerative practices that work to sequester carbon and cool the local and global climate. Our community members are gardeners, ecologists, climate activists, scientists, writers, researchers, innovators, local foodies, policy makers, educators, leaders, futurists, organizers, parents, holistic thinkers, and anyone curious about how biology shapes Earth.
Among other activities, we had a monthly potluck dinner and lively presentations and discussions. Topics varied, but all center around how ecological and regenerative resource management can reverse the effects of global warming. By shifting our thinking to see the world in wholes, we can collaborate and take action now. Let's all be part of the worldwide mobilization of the biosphere to restore damaged ecosystems and reverse global warming.
We hope to return to those in-person meetings when it's clearly safe, but in the meanwhile we have a number of online events - and you're invited! Please visit our website at bio4climate.org to see what we're up to. You can also sign up for our newsletter to stay updated on upcoming events: bio4climate.org/sign-up-for-our-newsletter/. Thank you for taking interest in our eco-restoration efforts!

See all- Plant a Mini-Forest With Us!The Andrew Peabody School, Cambridge, MA
Join us on Saturday, May 3rd, at Peabody Elementary School (70 Rindge Ave, Cambridge, MA) to help plant a new miniforest from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.!
Planting one tree is great- but imagine being able to plant an entire forest in just one weekend! Using the Miyawaki method we have worked with the City of Cambridge to plant thousands of seedlings of 20 or more different species to recreate the biodiversity of a forest ecosystem in small urban pockets of land.
You can be a part of this positive and fun experience as we support the community around the Peabody School in Cambridge.
Sign up for one (or both) shifts
