On Wednesday, Jan. 16, the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook is hosting a free 2-hour lecture on climate change and its impact on human health and fresh water resources.
Here’s email from Pam Freeman:
“The news is abuzz with stories about climate change. At the heart of the matter is concern about how a changing climate will impact the quality of human life. Will there be a rise in insect-borne diseases? Will decreasing snowmelt translate into reduced freshwater availability? Can we expect increases in certain noxious plants, such as poison ivy?
“If these questions interest you, join the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies for an evening of discourse at 7pm on January 16th.
“Our president, Dr. William H. Schlesinger, will hold a lecture on current thinking about climate change impacts to human health and freshwater resources. A biogeochemist with expertise in global climate change, Dr. Schlesinger will entertain questions after the lecture.
“The event will be held in the Cary Institute Auditorium, located at 61 Sharon Turnpike (44A) in Millbrook, NY. Seating is limited, please arrive on time. For additional information, please contact Pamela Freeman at (845) 677-7600×121.”

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
