This panel session will explore a unique collaboration between the City of Salem and the Salem Preservation Partners, a group of local preservation and environmental organizations, to raise awareness of climate change impacts to historic resources and to develop strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Learn about Salem's approach to historic preservation in a changing climate, then dive deeper into what one historic site - The House of the Seven Gables - is doing to adapt to climate change challenges. Panelists include the City of Salem's Preservation Planner; the Executive Director of Salem Sound Coastwatch, a science-based not-for-profit; and the Gable's Collection Manager. Session attendees will leave with ideas, approaches, examples, and resources around planning for adaptations due to climate change realities. . . . . #historicpreservation #worcester #historicworcester #historicmassachusetts #salemmass #salem #historicsalem
