Working to Support People & Nature in a Changing Climate
KELT is helping people and nature to prepare for the serious challenges brought on by our changing climate such as warmer temperatures, more extreme storms, drought, less snow, coastal storm surges, and sea level rise. By approaching these formidable challenges with local projects and partnerships, KELT aims to be a reliable climate change resource for you and your neighbors. We want to make climate change understandable and offer practical actions to make our midcoast Maine communities resilient to present and future changes. What is KELT doing now?
