SUMMARY:PBS NC's State of Change: Natural Solutions Screening and Discussion Event
DESCRIPTION:PBS North Carolina\, NC Science Festival and The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences Proudly Present:\n\nState of Change: Natural Solutions — Screening and Panel Discussion\nTwo ways to join us: online or in person at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences\nPlease join us in person (or virtually) on Thursday\, April 20\, at 7pm\, for a special screening of State of Change: Natural Solutions\, followed by a panel discussion with scientists and journalists from around the state who will provide an up-close look at climate change issues and answer your questions in-person and via the virtual chat. \nRegister\nThink about the weather we’ve experienced the past few years. Record-breaking rainfalls\, flooding\, record-breaking temperatures (hot & cold) and monster hurricanes. The climate is changing. But what does that mean for us? \nPBS North Carolina launched the State of Change project to personalize the impact of climate change\, provide details about the science of the challenges\, share solutions to combat the issues and develop resiliency to adapt to it. \nState of Change: Natural Solutions comes to to PBS NC this April with stories of North Carolinians across the state who have responded to the challenges of climate change in new and innovative ways. \nThis season we’ll explore natural climate solutions that help mitigate the impacts of climate change by pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and sequestering it in the ground. Stories include: \n\nLearning how planting native grassland species like asters\, coneflowers and goldenrod in our yards both mimics historical landscapes and changes the soil for the better.\nTrekking into the spongy peatlands of Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in the Inner Banks with scientists monitoring how these distinctive landscapes store carbon.\nMeeting the farmers at Blackwell’s Farm in Reidsville who raise cattle and grow crops using no-till practices and see the positive impacts of conservation tillage at a nearby research plot.\nTraveling to the unique tidewater region of North Carolina’s coast\, where rich black soil produces bountiful food and commodity crops but needs protection from encroaching saltwater due to rising sea levels.\n\nIN-PERSON Event Details\n\nDate and Time: Thursday\, April 20\, at 7pm\nLocation: NC Museum of Natural Sciences (11 W. Jones Street\, Raleigh | Google Map)\nScreening of PBS NC’s State of Change: Natural Solutions\nPanel discussion\n\nVIRTUAL Event Details\n\nThursday\, April 20\, at 7pm\nScreening of PBS NC’s State of Change: Natural Solutions\nPanel discussion\nFrom the convenience of your own home\, office\, laptop\, computer or mobile device\nLink to join event can be found in your registration confirmation and your reminder email\nThe event will be livestreamed from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences\n\nModerator: Frank Graff\, executive producer and host of PBS North Carolina’s Sci NC \nPanelists: \n\nMark Hibbs\, editor\, Coastal Review\, a news service of NC Coastal Federation\nMelody Hunter Pillion\, journalist\, historian and doctoral student at UNC Chapel Hill focusing on oral histories as a tool of resilience\nLauren Pharr\, science writer\, avian ecologist\, PhD student\, Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center Global Change Fellow\nAdam Wagner\, climate and environmental issues reporter\, News & Observer\n\nThis is a FREE event\, but registration is required.
