Day 1- Door County Climate Change Action Workshop at The Clearing

  • The Clearing - Jens Jensen Visitor Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Thursday, Jan 30 & Thursday, Feb 6 from 9 am to Noon
Instructors - Jeff Lutsey, Deneen Hopkins Wiske & Roy Thilly

We will learn about the most effective strategies to slow and be resilient to climate change. Using Project Drawdown’s roadmap for accelerating climate solutions as our guide, we will work together to identify the most effective actions that we can apply in Door County. We will brainstorm how to foster broad-based and effective local climate action in our communities, and how implementing climate strategies can be easy, cost-effective, and bring other important health benefits. We will collaborate to answer the questions: How can Door County address the climate crisis by reducing greenhouse gas emissions? And how can we drive the climate actions needed from individuals, businesses, communities, and local and state governments? Topics will range from energy use, transportation, food waste, agricultural practices, land conservation, and reforestation. We will strive to be specific and practical. Please join us to learn, plan, and act!

Class Cost: $30 for both Jan. 30 and Feb. 6

Composting Basics at The Clearing

  • The Clearing - Jens Jensen Visitors Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Instructors: Mike Schneider & Jeff Lutsey

Composting is a great way to reduce landfill waste and, for gardeners, to produce their own organic material for soil improvement. And making it is not at all difficult. In this class, Mike will cover the basics of home composting, from which materials to compost, which materials to avoid composting, compost pile management, the various kinds of compost bins and structures, and how to use finished compost. For those who do not garden but would still like to divert their compostable kitchen scraps from the landfill, Jeff will provide information on how to do this through the Climate Change Coalition of Door County’s compost program, along with other information about the coalition’s work regarding composting.

Class Cost: $25

Woods Walk with Ecologist Lee Frelich

Woods walk

Forest ecologist Lee Frelich will lead this hike at Door Bluff Headlands County Park on September 21 from 10 am - 12 noon. The woods walk will be approximately 2 miles long, including woods and escarpment shoreline.

We will explore the ecosystem that thrives on this shallow bedrock running along the Bay or Green Bay. And we’ll focus on the succession of native tree types and adaptation occurring and predicted with climate change.

The hike starts at the Door Bluff Headlands County Park parking lot, at 12900 Door Bluff Park Rd. 

Carpooling is enthusiastically encouraged.

More about Lee:

He spent summers in the woods of the County as a boy, so he knows his way around. Following his Ph.D. in Forest Ecology from UW-Madison, he has served as the Director of the University of Minnesota Center for Forest Ecology.  His research has been featured in the media hundreds of times, including in The New York Times, Newsweek, and National Geographic. 

The hike is limited to 16 participants. Donations are encouraged, and all proceeds support the Climate Change Coalition’s climate education and action mission. 

Advance registration is required. To register, please go to our google form here.
