The Collider presents a one and a half-day workshop designed to equip business leaders and managers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the rapidly-developing discipline of climate adaptation.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity for leaders, executives, and professionals to engage with leading climate and industry experts to:
- Understand emerging environmental impacts, changing legislation, and reporting and disclosure requirements
- Develop and integrate critical climate transition strategies into business models
- Engage with employees and stakeholder to build and sustain organizational resilience
Overview:
Businesses across sectors face an array of challenges that necessitate a proactive approach to climate adaptation. From the retail industry to manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond, the impacts of climate change pose multifaceted threats that demand immediate attention and strategies for building near and long term resilience. With less unpredictable and extreme weather events becoming more frequent, business leaders need information, tools, and tactics to address disruptions to existing supply chains, infrastructure, and daily operations.
These challenges underscore the relevance and urgency of climate adaptation for businesses of all sizes, across sectors, and at every level of the value chain. The ability to anticipate, plan for, and adapt to these challenges is not only a matter of survival but also a strategic imperative. Forward-thinking businesses recognize that resilience in the face of climate change is a key driver of long-term success. Through collaborative efforts, innovative solutions, and a commitment to sustainability, businesses can not only weather the storm of climate challenges but also emerge as leaders in a rapidly changing world.
Participants of this two-day, immersive workshop can expect:
Intensive Interaction, Tailored Learning, and Directed and Relevant Crafted Content.
Agenda Overview:
- Day 1: Understanding Climate Adaptation (9:00a to 5:00p)
- Day 2: Implementing Adaptation (9:00a to 12:30p)

Join us for a public volunteer workday at the SAHC Community Farm, nestled in the pastoral community of Alexander, North Carolina. As the splendor of spring unfolds, we invite you to roll up your sleeves and help us to steward our beautiful farm.
We welcome volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to join us for a day of camaraderie, purposeful work, and connection with nature. Our public volunteer workday offers a hands-on opportunity to engage with the land, learn sustainable farming practices, and make a tangible impact on our local ecosystem.
Activities may include:
- Planting: Embrace the rhythm of the season as we sow seeds, transplant seedlings, and nurture the growth of vibrant crops that will sustain our community.
- Weeding and Mulching: Partner with fellow volunteers to tend to the soil, clearing away invasive species and spreading nourishing mulch to promote healthy plant growth.
- Trail Maintenance: Explore the beauty of our farm while contributing to its upkeep by maintaining trails, clearing debris, and enhancing accessibility for visitors.
- Environmental Restoration: Engage in projects aimed at restoring native habitats, protecting wildlife corridors, and fostering biodiversity within our landscape.
- Community Building: Forge meaningful connections with fellow volunteers as we work together towards a shared vision of environmental stewardship and community resilience.
No prior experience is necessary – just bring your enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a spirit of collaboration. Gloves, tools, will be provided.
As part of our Volunteer Work Day at the SAHC Community Farm, we will focus on planting 250 fruit trees in the NEW Food Forest! Help support fresh healthy produce in your community, and see your efforts grow in SAHC’s future U-pick orchard. We will plant 12 different varieties of apple trees – great for everything from fresh eating to making sauce or cider.
Each tree is about 3-4 ft. tall, and holes will be prepared in advance – so there will be minimal digging involved. No experience needed. The weather has been soggy today but should be beautiful on Friday.
If you want to plant a tree and make a positive impact on the environment and community health for Earth Month, this is your opportunity!

– Blue Ridge Humane Society (BRHS) invites the community to
participate in Paws for a Purpose, a signature fundraising weekend bringing together local businesses
and individuals to raise awareness and funds to support their mission of ensuring the highest quality of
life for animals in Henderson County and surrounding communities.
Local businesses are encouraged to host fundraisers throughout the weekend, and can include donating
a percentage of sales, hosting a pet supply donation drive, hosting a pint night or yappy hour or creating
an individual celebration that includes a raffle or contest with proceeds benefitting BRHS. Individuals are
also encouraged to host parties with friends, neighbors or co-workers. Parties can be at their favorite
establishment, a neighborhood clubhouse or at the office and can include sit-down dinners, block
parties, or pet supply drives, for example.
“This signature fundraising event has become a community favorite over the last four years because of
its creative and inclusive nature,” said BRHS Executive Director Angela Prodrick. “Individuals and
businesses empower others to contribute as much or as little as they desire in the course of one
weekend, and these collective efforts amount to a significant impact for our organization. Together, we
can save local animals in our neighborhoods by supporting small, locally owned businesses.”
If you would like to host an event, visit https://www.blueridgehumane.org/get-
involved/events/pawsforapurpose/ or email BRHS Events & Business Partnerships Director Jessica
Chipriano at [email protected] for more information.

clinics, animal education programs, pet training classes, and youth education and projects; coordinates
community pet food assistance, emergency vet assistance, and the Spay Neuter Incentive Program
(SNIP), which is a collaboration with Henderson County, the City of Hendersonville, and the Henderson
County Animal Services Center.
