SUMMARY:Acton Flood Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Tour of Flood-Prone Areas – Part 1 \nCalling all Students (Grades 7-12) and Residents interested in reducing the impacts of local flooding!\nSIGN-UP for the Hack-a-thon  HERE. \n  \nAre you a problem solver? Interested in environmental science and sustainability? This informational walk marks the first stage in the Acton Flood Solutions Student Hack-a-thon\, sponsored by AB STEAM with support from the Acton Sustainability Office\, the Acton Conservation Dept. and the Integral Charitable Foundation. Join us as we ask a particular question: How can we reduce flooding and the impacts of flooding in Acton in a way that is economical\, sustainable\, and socially and environmentally friendly? \nJoin the organizers for FREE ice cream and information from 4:00-5:00pm at Gardner Park in West Acton. Then the participants will caravan to the Heath Hen Meadow Trail in South Acton at the very back of Mount Hope Cementary\, 166 Central St.\, Acton. The group will walk the Heath Hen Trail\, led by Acton Conservation Dept. Staff\, and look at a flooded area\, discussing challenges and solutions. \nAs our climate warms\, extreme weather events are becoming more common\, including serious flood and flash-flood episodes. Help the Town address this challenge!  AB STEAM is launching the Hackathon this summer and fall! The winning solution will receive an award and recognition!
