Feb. 1, 2023

Sponsored by Cheshire Creation Care, an interfaith group formed to educate and empower their communities to take practical and effective action as environmental stewards, and hosted by St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, The Cheshire Environmental Summit took place on Wednesday, January 25 at 7 pm. The informal format of the “Summit” enabled the 30-plus attendees to learn about the work of a variety of climate-conscious organizations and then informally network with individuals about possibilities for collaboration and support.

As each attendee briefly introduced him or herself, it was quickly clear how passionate and far-reaching are the efforts in Cheshire to recognize, educate and mitigate the climate crisis. Attendees included Assistant Town Manager Arnett Talbot; recently hired Director of Public Works Gary Fuerstenberg; Town Energy Commission member Walter Gayeski, Environment Commission Chair Karen Schnitzer and co-chair Lynn Dawson; Fiona Pearson co-lead of Coalition for a Sustainable Cheshire; Hap Jordan, treasurer of Friends of Boulder Knoll; Jen Dillon, environmental educator at Cheshire Academy, who brought along a student activist; and many, many others.

All welcomed this initial, and promising, effort to build communication and collaboration connections.
