“Closing the Carbon Gap,” September 7, 7pm

The Conway Forest and Trails Committee is sponsoring a talk, “Proforestation: Closing the Carbon Gap in Time,” by renowned environmentalist William Moomaw. Conway residents will be making decisions regarding their town-owned forests, Fournier and Town Farm, in the near future. The town forests have Forest Stewardship Plans formulated in 2020, which have recently been updated for "Climate Resiliency.” The town is looking at participating in the Carbon Offset Market along with private landowners.

The talk will take place on Wednesday, September 7, 2022 from 7-8pm via zoom (Meeting ID: 658 679 6584 Passcode: conwaysb: or use the link on the town website). A question and answer period will follow. The talk is open to the public. See below for further details.

Bill Moomaw received his PhD in chemistry at MIT, and has applied it to addressing global environmental problems including stratospheric ozone depletion, air and

He was a lead author of 5 major reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change including the 2007 Report that won the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 2007, he and his wife Margot converted his experience with renewable energy and building efficiency into practice when they completed the first engineered zero net energy home in New England. With the addition of more rooftop solar panels, their home is now a net exporter of solar electricity to the grid while charging 60% of the miles driven in their electric car.

In 2019 he was elected a Fellow in the world’s largest scientific body, the American Association for the Advancement of Science for his “contributions to our understanding of climate change and its global impacts and to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”
