Cathleen Stone Island Outward Bound School and Stone Living Lab are inviting proposals for curriculum development on Cathleen Stone Island!
The Stone Living Lab's Co-Director Katie Dafforn presents to the Design Discovery program at Harvard Graduate School of Design: Introducing Nature-Based Solutions for coastal climate adaptation to future planners and architects.
This summer marks six months since the installation of Living Seawalls habitat enhancement panels at Condor Street Urban Wild in East Boston and Fan Pier in the Seaport - and the biodiversity is already making waves.
Members of the Lab were thrilled to join other partners from throughout the region at the Museum of Science on June 18 for An Evening with Robin Wall Kimmerer.
The Lab's Education team was thrilled to join New England Aquarium for their celebration of World Ocean Day on June 8! This annual event is free and open to the public, allowing folks a chance to stroll by and learn more about the incredible marine world just steps away from the Aquarium.
Lab Co-Director Joe Christo joined Boston Society of Landscape Architects (BSLA) Executive Director Gretchen Rabinkin, STOSS Landscape Urbanism Founding Director Chris Reed, and other partners to host attendees at the American Institute of Architects Conference on Architecture and Design (AIA25) on a boat tour of Boston Harbor on June 6, 2025.
In early June the shoreline at Condor Street Urban Wild came alive with curiosity and discovery as the entire 8th grade class from East Boston High School joined the Stone Living Lab team for a day of urban shoreline exploration. Just a six minute walk away from their school, students were excited to step into the intertidal world located right in their neighbourhood.
The Lab is excited to announce that three new employees have joined our team, in addition to our new Co-Director Katie Dafforn, who joined earlier this year. Liana Greenberg-Nielsen has joined the team as the Lab’s Education and Engagement Program Coordinator; Jasmine Perez has joined the team as the Lab’s Summer Intern; and Daria Healey has returned to the team as the Summer Institute Fellow!
Lab Senior Program Manager, Education and Engagement Rebecca Shoer joined the Conference on Advancing Participatory Sciences recently. Hosted by the Association for Advancing Participatory Sciences, this conference brings together practitioners and researchers from around the globe, all focused on the participatory sciences.
The Stone Living Lab welcomed more than 350 people for our third biennial conference, “Nature-Based Coastal Resilience in Urban Settings,” on April 16-18 at UMass Boston. The three days were documented by our photography partner Dominique Sindayiganza, and some of those images are featured here.
