Our ninth annual Science in the Mountains series continues with two more discussions left this summer. The first will take place this coming Wednesday (August 10th) where Georgia Murray of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) will give the audience an update on the status of the AMC alpine monitoring project around the White Mountains. The last discussion of the season will be Wednesday, August 17th where we will be exploring the climate and forest history of New England. Both discussions will start at 7 pm at our Weather Discovery Center in North Conway. And best of all, both discussions are FREE for all ages. So we hope to see you there!
