SUMMARY:NH Butterfly Monitoring Network: How you can make important contributions
DESCRIPTION:NH Butterfly Monitoring Network: How you can make important contributions. \nFriday\, June 2: 7-8:15pm \nCost: Free \nRegistration Link \nWe are looking for curious and observant people to help us with a new initiative\, the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network! There are over 100 species of butterflies in the state and we need help collecting data on them to monitor their populations over time. Find out how you can contribute from Spring to Fall with your observations of butterflies and participate in an organized survey in your area. We’ll also send you off with a few species to be looking for this time of year. \nHeidi Holman is a wildlife diversity biologist with the NH Fish and Game Department. She received her M.S degree from the University of Minnesota in Conservation Biology. Her primary responsibilities include implementation of recovery efforts for the Karner blue butterfly and the New England cottontail rabbit including habitat restoration and release of individuals from captive breeding programs. \nNew Hampshire Audubon Pollinator Speaker Series: Celebrating and Engaging in Pollinator Conservation \nJoin New Hampshire Audubon for our 2022 Pollinator Webinar series as we celebrate Pollinator Conservation. This series seeks to inspire involvement and engagement in pollinator conservation through close focus programs that will allow participants to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of pollinators and the plants they depend on. Programs are free to the public\, streamed via Zoom\, YouTube\, and Facebook Live. Presentations are supported by a grant from the Benjamin and Gertrude Couch Trusts. \nThe Pollinator Series will kick off on Earth Day\, Friday April 22 and culminate with a Pollinator BioBlitz at the McLane Center in Concord\, NH on June 25.

SUMMARY:Buds & Blooms: Beginner Botany
DESCRIPTION:Beginner Botany is our first Buds & Blooms program. From the air we breathe to the clothes we wear\, our relationship with plants far exceeds consumption. Let’s investigate the many ways we interact with our botanical buddies while exploring the McLane Center’s Pollinator Garden. We’ll learn how it is that plants create their own food before oftentimes becoming a food source for someone else!  A scavenger hunt to put our new botanical knowledge to use will conclude this interactive program.  \nIntended for kids and families\, the Buds & Blooms Series is a compilation of five in-person public programs intended to introduce participants to the magic and wonder of our native plants and pollinators. Occurring monthly through October\, each program highlights a topic pertaining to pollinators and includes an interactive activity as well as a take away. Parental supervision is required and content/material is best suited for children ages 4-12. \nThis program is free of cost\, but RSVP’s are required to reserve your spot. \nPhoto Credit: Pixabay

SUMMARY:The Secret Lives of Wild Bees
DESCRIPTION:The Secret Life of Wild Bees \nThursday\, June 23: 7-8:15pm \nCost: Free \nRegistration Link \nNick Dorian is an ecologist\, an educator\, and a naturalist. He is a PhD student at Tufts University where he studies the population ecology of cellophane bees and runs the Tufts Pollinator Initiative\, an urban pollinator conservation and community outreach group. \nYou’ve probably heard “save the bees!” as news reports of insect declines flood the media. But do you know which bees need saving? Over 4000 species of bees inhabit North America\, and most of them don’t live in hives or make honey. In this lecture\, PhD student and New England bee expert Nick Dorian will teach you about the natural history and conservation of wild bees that call New England home. Together\, we’ll examine closely their varied lifestyles\, their habitat needs\, and their intricate relationships with flowering plants and other insects. You’ll come away with clear action items for creating habitat for native bees in your gardens and with a newfound appreciation for these charismatic pollinators. \nNew Hampshire Audubon Pollinator Speaker Series: Celebrating and Engaging in Pollinator Conservation \nJoin New Hampshire Audubon for our 2022 Pollinator Webinar series as we celebrate Pollinator Conservation.  \nThis series seeks to inspire involvement and engagement in pollinator conservation through close focus programs that will allow participants to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of pollinators and the plants they depend on.
