The Wild Center will host “Earth to Sky: Sharing Our Adirondack Climate Story,” a free, two-day, in-person workshop focused on strengthening climate communication across the Adirondack region.
The program will take place March 5–6, 2026, with an additional virtual webinar on February 25.
“Earth to Sky,” a national partnership with NASA, brings together scientists, educators, and communicators to translate the latest climate science into engaging, locally relevant stories.
This Adirondack-focused course is designed for organizations, agencies, and businesses seeking to better understand how climate change is impacting the region and how to effectively engage their audiences on climate issues.
“This workshop gives local organizations direct access to NASA scientists and regional experts while building the skills needed to share climate stories in ways that are hopeful, accurate, and meaningful for our communities,” said Jen Kretser, Director of Climate Initiatives at The Wild Center. “When we strengthen communication, we strengthen our collective ability to respond.”
Hosted by a regional collaboration including The Wild Center, Paul Smith’s College, Adirondack Explorer, Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory, Adirondack Council, Adirondack Research Consortium, and the Adirondack Climate Outreach and Resilience Network, the course will immerse participants in both global and local climate science while equipping them with practical communication tools.
There will be a virtual webinar to kick the event off on February 25, 3:00–5:30 p.m. EST. Event locations will be in Tupper Lake on March 5 at The Wild Center and the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory, and at Paul Smith’s College Visitor Interpretive Center (VIC), Paul Smith’s, on March 6, 2026.
Organizations are encouraged to apply in teams of three to five participants, though individuals are also welcome. Space is limited, and attendance is by application at wildcenter.org/earthtosky.
Participants will receive a light breakfast, coffee, and lunch on in-person days. Attendees are responsible for dinner, travel, and lodging expenses.
Applications are open through February 6, 2026, and applicants must be able to attend both in-person days and the virtual webinar.
