On Thursday, January 15th at 7:00 p.m. at the Loon Center in Moultonborough, the Lakes Region Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society will present a program called What’s Wild, by veteran wildlife biologist Eric Orff.

Join Eric for humorous and educational stories from his 50-year career in New Hampshire, covering topics like wildlife conservation, climate change, and his experiences with animals like bats and bears. From riding deer to rescuing moose from swimming pools to snakes in a bathroom, he has seen many oddities.

As the state’s first bear biologist in the 1970s, Eric began a half-century career as a “forest ranger who works with animals,” his stated dream job as a 7-year-old. Eric has worked both at NH Fish & Game and the National Wildlife Federation, and continues to protect the natural environment of New Hampshire.

Eric is the author of “What’s Wild,” which details many more of his experiences.

The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs on Blake Road from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School, or from Rte. 109 turn on to Lee Road and turn left on Lee’s Mill Road.
