Our field trip this year will be to the Elizabeth River Project's Ryan Resilience Lab. This is a great opportunity to tour this remarkable new facility and have an eye-opening exploration of how sea level rise will affect us all. We'll learn about their cutting edge green building practices and systems – floating docks, green roofs, solar arrays, rainwater capture, and much more. We'll also learn about their living shoreline and native plant garden. Learn about sustainability best practices in action and hear about the “planned retreat” that will allow the river to retake the site as sea levels continue to rise. Tour takes about 1 hour. Afterward we will have an optional outing to a local restaurant for dinner. (dutch treat - each participant pays for their own bill).
Space is limited. Registration required at https://forms.gle/CqEzZhfzhT2ML8nf7
