SUMMARY:Cold Spring Park Talk:  A Green Oasis in the Heart of Newton
DESCRIPTION:Green Newton’s speaker series program ‘Cold Spring Park: A 
 Green Oasis in the Heart of Newton’ will feature two experts discussing 
 Cold Spring Park. The event is cosponsored by the Conservators.\n\nAlan No
 gee will talk about the many faces of the park— a 67-acre green oasis in
  the heart of Newton\, with a great diversity of habitats and ecosystems. 
 He will discuss its history and problems\, and describe how the Friends of
  Cold Spring Park is addressing them. Eric Olson will talk about the ecolo
 gy of one of the most fascinating habitats in Cold Spring Park\, the red m
 aple swamp. Few people in Newton are aware of the extent of this habitat\,
  and fewer still of the efforts underway to rescue it from an aggressive i
 nvader\, the glossy buckthorn shrub.\n\nAlan is a career environmental adv
 ocate\, having worked for 40 years to clean up our energy systems. He spen
 t 17 years with the Union of Concerned Scientists\, most recently as Direc
 tor of Climate and Energy Strategy and Policy. He established the Friends 
 of Cold Spring Park to help preserve\, protect\, and improve it.\n\nEric i
 s an ecologist at Brandeis University\, where he teaches field biology amo
 ng other environmental courses. His habitat restoration successes include 
 the conversion of a mowed campus hillside into a wildflower meadow that is
  in regular use by Brandeis biology classes. He has been a frequent leader
  and participant with Newton Conservators’ invasive plant pulls.\n\nFrie
