Annual Baltimore Ecosystem Study Meeting

Katie May Laumann and Meena Toolaabee attended the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) Annual Meeting on October 15th, which was hosted at the Stillmeadow Community Fellowship in West Baltimore. Environmental researchers and professionals gathered to share the projects they’ve been working on, covering a wide array of issues within communities, ecosystems, and green economics. Katie May introduced a new project focused on baselining Maryland’s resilience to climate change and opened the door for future collaboration with the attendees. With community-driven research, it’s always important to recruit a wide range of participants. BES attendees provided wonderful questions and suggestions that will further inform the course of the project.
