The Boulcott Lodge recently sponsored and hosted an excellent presentation by member of the Climate Project, Melissa Clarke-Reynolds. This was an opportunity for us to gather our friends, family, employees and their families, neighbours, our present guests, and the broader community of people we work with for a night of educated entertainment and socialising. The topic of discussion was one that we strongly support in relation to our own business and our way of life and we wanted to share and communicate the importance of this within our community.

Based on the Academy Award winning documentary by Nobel Peace Prize winning Al Gore, Melissa's presentation wove in her own experiences from her travels together with her observations and forecasts for climate change in New Zealand. Melissa is a great presenter and very passionate and knowledgable about her topic. The presentation was eye-opening, scary, entertaining and moving. The evening concluded with the apt and thought provoking Native Amercian Quote:

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."
