We are heading into an exciting year that will give us a plan forward to prepare our community for the effects of climate change. We would like to invite you, your neighbors, and your friends for weighing in with your ideas, concerns, and priorities for this a collectively developed action plan. 

The Sustainability Department received a $38,000 state grant for hiring an experienced environmental consultant, Kari Hewitt, for steering the planning process. Over the course of the next seven months, you will have the opportunity to help identify 10-15 priority actions for mitigating GHG emissions and reducing vulnerabilities concerning Sherborn’s unique ecological resources, in specific the town's affected tree canopy, and deteriorating water quality of ground and surface water.
