Nature Through the Year in Backyard & Beyond
We’re learning that immersion in nature is good for us, which leads us to ask, “How can we help the wild world in return?” This presentation by Francie Von Mertens – which draws from her Nature Almanac & Calendar, published by the Harris Center – will explore that question while guiding us through the natural cycles of the seasons.
New England Blizzards
Join meteorologist and storm chaser Cyrena Arnold to discover the science behind blizzards and snowstorms, revisit some of our region’s most epic storms, and explore theories on why we don’t seem to be experiencing blizzards like we once did.
Lunch & Learn: Visit the Kayapo in the Heart of the Amazon
The Kayapo territory is an area of unmarred rainforest as large as the state of Virginia, and it’s threatened by illegal timber extraction, gold mining, and land grabs for cattle ranching. Despite these threats, the Indigenous Kayapo have successfully protected their territorial borders for more than 30 years. Join Scott Hecker to learn about Kayapo culture and their ongoing efforts to protect the rainforest.
The Plight of the Fisher
Learn how researchers are working to uncover what’s behind the decline in New Hampshire’s fisher population. Discover how exposure to commonly used rodenticides may be impacting fishers and other wildlife, as well as other important research developments.
