Once used for cranberry farming, this landscape is now being carefully restored into a thriving natural wetland—bringing back native plants, creating habitat for wildlife, and improving water quality. It’s a powerful example of how nature can rebound when given the chance.

Karen will take us behind the scenes of this large-scale restoration effort, from the science and planning to the exciting early results. We will learn how projects like this not only benefit local ecosystems, but also strengthen coastal resilience and help protect the waters connected to Nantucket Harbor and Nantucket Sound.

Whether you love nature, are curious about conservation, or just enjoy seeing positive environmental stories unfold, this is an inspiring look at how landscapes—and ecosystems—can be brought back to life.
