SUMMARY:Old-Growth Forests: Biodiversity and Carbon Storage Powerhouses Worth Saving
DESCRIPTION:Old-Growth Forests are rare in New Hampshire\, the second most heavily forested state in the nation. Less than one percent of New Hampshire forests are considered old-growth\, while their value for ecosystem services including carbon storage and biodiversity is great. This presentation will describe how you can recognize the unique characteristics of such a forest\, important ecological attributes\, and the wildlife that favor such forests. \nWe will take a visual tour of some of New Hampshire’s finest old-growth forests from around the state. We will discuss the importance of these forests as carbon reserves to help cool the planet and as places where nature is a source of inspiration. We will meet some of the residents of such forests like the Blackburnian Warbler\, flying squirrel\, and American marten who prefer this type of forest habitat. We need both sustainably managed forests and ancient forests where trees can reach their maximum biological age. I will make the case that both kinds of forests are working forests. \nRegister for this free webinar through Zoom. \n \nThis webinar is part of the year-long Exploring Connections to and Stewardship of the Natural World talks. This series is supported by a grant through the NH Humanities Council and aims to provide a public and personal space for the examination of environmental ethics\, fostering a deeper understanding of\, appreciation for\, and care of\, our natural world. Programs are free to the public\, and streamed via Zoom\, YouTube\, and Facebook Live.  \nFor more information and to see the entire slate of talks\, visit our series webpage. \nSpeaker Bio: \nDavid Govatski is a retired forester and silviculturist and was employed by the US Forest Service for 33 years. He has visited and studied old-growth forests in all parts of North America. He has a particular affinity for Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. David was co-author of Forests for the People: The Story of the Eastern National Forests and numerous articles on forest history. David works as a Naturalist and lives with his wife in Jefferson\, NH.

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:Even as scientists make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch\, humans have brought many migrants to the brink. Based on his newest book\, “A World on the Wing\,” author and researcher Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do\, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, to the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, and the Mediterranean where activists and police battle bird poachers to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations. \nScott Weidensaul with a Snowy Owl (©Chris DeSorbo).\nNovember and December Zoom programs begin at 7:30 pm\, but feel free to sign on early after 7 pm to socialize. You may need to download Zoom to attend the program. Please register in advance for this Zoom meeting at the chapter website. You can register right up through the start time. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the program. \nBio: Scott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind\, Return to Wild America and The First Frontier. His newest book\, A World on the Wing about global migration\, was released in March 2021. Weidensaul is a contributing editor for National Audubon\, a columnist for Bird Watcher’s Digest and writes for a variety of other publications\, including Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Living Bird. He is also an active field researcher\, studying Northern Saw-whet Owl migration for more than two decades\, as well as winter hummingbirds\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of Snowy Owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded. \n  \nThe Seacoast Chapter meets monthly on the second Wednesday except the months of July and August unless there is a special program. 7 pm social and the meetings begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45 pm).
