Mark Wenzler, the first director of Chautauqua’s Climate Change Initiative, began his Chautauqua tenure with a 370–mile bike ride to the grounds from Chautauqua’s Washington, D.C. office. Wenzler documented his journey through Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York on social media, using the trip as a teaching and learning opportunity. The ride was aligned with Climate Ride, raising funds for and awareness of the Climate Change Initiative. Watch for comprehensive coverage of the initial stages of the initiative this summer in the Daily.
