With warmer and wetter winters and increasingly severe storms, wildlife face a variety of challenges as a result of climate change. Wildlife populations may have to adapt to new weather conditions or relocate to deal with a changing environment. Those that can't may face a more dire future.

Tom Rogers, a Wildlife Biologist with the Vermont Department of Vermont Fish and Wildlife will discuss how different species might continue to respond to these challenges and what conservationists are doing to address them. Does Vermont have the landscape connectivity needed to keep wildlife populations intact and can places like the Shutesville Wildlife Corridor in Waterbury and Stowe play a role in their conservation?

Through colorful photos and captivating stories, the audience will come away with a new understanding of how climate change is affecting wildlife and what we can do to help conserve biodiversity in Vermont in the face of these new threats.
