SUMMARY:Beauty and Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:Like many of us who experience biophilia\, when it comes to our most existential lifeline—the natural world—I exist in a personal and anthropogenic dissonance of celebration and mourning\, vision and blindness. I want to explore these tensions\, and the questions they raise about reciprocity\, through the topic of beauty. Why do we find other life and geological forms so compelling and yet not sufficiently connect their survival with our own? What does nature’s beauty have to do with us\, and us with it? This presentation is from the viewpoint of a poet—not a scientist—who is attempting to go more deeply into her intertwined senses of wonder at what we are given and grief at what we are losing\, and find some beauty there. \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: \nAlice B. Fogel is the previous New Hampshire poet laureate (2014-2019). She is the author of 5 poetry collections\, including Interval: Poems Based on Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” which won the N. Schaffner Award for Music in Literature and the NH Literary Award. Another poetry book is due out around the end of 2021\, and she is also the author of Strange Terrain\, on how to appreciate poetry without necessarily “getting” it. Among other awards\, Alice has been given a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, and her poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies\, including Best American Poetry. She teaches reading and writing workshops in a wide range of areas\, works one-on-one with students with learning differences at Landmark College\, and hikes mountains whenever possible. \n

Their talk will discuss the amazing geology of the region\, its rich history of sugar plantations and rum making and its wonderful birds. These islands exhibit a high degree of endemism and each island introduced them to many new and interesting species and varied sub-species. \nMagnificent Frigatebird\, by Bob and Dana Fox.\nThey visited four of the islands on their own with local guides moving from island to island by ferry or plane. They then flew to Barbados and boarded the elegant Sea Cloud\, a four-masted sailing vessel from which they explored the remaining five islands.

SUMMARY:Nature Connection in NH Schools - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:September 7\, 7pm – this program is being postponed until a later date\, tbd\nJamie Hannon\nProfessor of Adventure Education\, Plymouth State University \nChildren aged 6-17 spend most of their weekday waking hours in school. For most students in NH this time is spent primarily indoors or in constructed outdoor environments. As children everywhere experience a decreasing sense of connection to nature\, schools that keep their students indoors are missing an opportunity to improve their kids’ wellness\, social-emotional development and academic achievement. \nThis program takes a close look at one NH public school that has taken a different approach: the Mountain Village Charter School of Plymouth. Serving grades 1-8 with an educational program dedicated to immersive\, daily nature experiences\, the school has experienced numerous successes\, and some challenges too\, as it seeks to bring all its students into a deeper connection with the landscape of NH. \n\n\n\n  \nRegister here. \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: \nJamie Hannon has taught outdoor and environmental education for 35 years and is currently a professor of adventure education at Plymouth State University. He dwells with his family in the Asquamchumaukee River valley in the southwestern foothills of the White Mountains. He is a founding member and board chair of the Mountain Village Charter School\, the only nature-based\, Montessori\, public school in the world. \n

SUMMARY:Poetry\, Place\, and Peace of Mind
DESCRIPTION:Poetry offers a medium for expressing mindful connections with nature\, while experiencing the mental health benefits nature provides. Dr. Maria Sanders\, a philosopher\, poet\, and researcher of eudaimonia\, the Greek concept for living full and flourishing lives; will facilitate a discussion on the effect nature has on emotions\, mood\, and sense of well-being. Utilizing poetry from Sanders’ Sunrise Sunset collection\, participants will explore various ways poetry can serve as a conduit between nature and positive mental health. \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: \nMaria Sanders\, a Philosophy professor at Plymouth State University and licensed attorney\, has dedicated three decades to researching scientific variables for living full and flourishing lives\, including the development of resilience and the exploration of how spaces become meaningful places. During the Fall of 2019\, Dr. Sanders traveled for five months to all fifty states in the United States filming interviews that documented people’s experiences with place. As a public philosopher\, she has written blogs\, curated art exhibitions\, hosted radio and television shows\, and taught philosophy at the college level for over 30 years. Dr. Sanders’ philosophy holds that intentionally selecting\, creating\, and protecting the physical environments within which we feel a natural affinity is essential for living a full and flourishing life. The places where we live\, work\, and spend our leisure must be a good fit for our health and well-being if we are to thrive in our existence. Just as the farmer cares about the soil\, water\, and air around their crops in order to maximize excellent growth of those crops; caring about our natural environments provides an essential place for our physical\, mental\, and spiritual growth and well-being. \n

SUMMARY:Cancelled: Appreciating our Nocturnal Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:**This program has been cancelled.** \nJoin us during Pollinator Week to learn more about the mysterious and diverse world of moths! They’re our (mostly) nocturnal neighbors that remain largely unseen but play a very important role in our gardens\, while supporting populations of native bird and bat species across the Northeast. Moth diversity has long been considered an indicator of habitat quality and emphasizes the importance of using various native plant\, shrub and tree species in our cultivated landscapes and embracing habitat heterogeneity when making land use decisions. \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: \nSarah Shearer is a graduate student at Antioch University New England (Keene\, NH). Sarah is a MS candidate in the Environmental Studies program with a concentration in Conservation Biology. Endlessly curious with a special affinity for some of the smaller or less-recognized creatures on this planet\, Sarah has primarily focused on studying moths during her time at AUNE. Her other interests besides invertebrates include landscape-scale conservation\, ecological inventories and successive biology. Sarah’s thesis topic is Moth Diversity in Managed Inland Pine Barrens and Heathlands of Massachusetts. She conducted her pilot study during Fall 2019 and her formal research from May to October 2020 with support from the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife’s Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP). Throughout the span of this project\, Sarah has become well-acquainted with various field collection and species identification techniques\, museum specimen preparation and iNaturalist™. Some of Sarah’s previous experience includes the identification of shellfish and gastropods for a study informing the restoration of salt marshes managed by Cape Cod National Seashore. Sarah has also worked on the identification of ant species for Harvard Forest’s “Warm Ants” project and as a Migratory Fish Count Technician\, monitoring the seasonal migration of fish in the Connecticut River for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. \n

SUMMARY:Native BATS of New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Katherine York\, Associate Professor of Biology and Chair\, Dept. of Biological Sciences\, Southern New Hampshire University \nThis talk focuses on identifying the eight native species of bats in New Hampshire\, acoustic and stationary monitoring techniques\, and the current status of White nose syndrome among bats in the U.S. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. \nI have worked with animals all my life\, first earning a B.S. in Animal Science and working as a zookeeper and a vet tech\, before receiving my M.Ed. in Secondary Biology Education from UNH. I have always wanted to teach people about animals\, and I think the way we treat animals says a lot about how we ultimately treat the whole Earth. During my Ph.D. program in Natural Resources at UNH\, I focused on environmental ethics and on our human relationship with both animals and the Earth. I have studied bats in New Hampshire for the last few years\, and now monitor the abundance and distribution of bat species in the state using acoustic and stationary techniques. White nose syndrome has devastated many of our native bat populations\, so it is especially important to keep an eye on their numbers and relative health\, as we watch this unfortunate disease progression across North America. \nSpecial thanks to our series sponsor:

SUMMARY:The State of New Hampshire’s Birds
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Pamela Hunt\, Senior Biologist- Avian Conservation\, NH Audubon \nIn the last 50 years\, scientists estimate that North America has lost roughly 3 billion birds\, meaning that there are only three quarters as many birds around as there used to be. New Hampshire Audubon has been tracking bird populations for almost as long\, and in our “State of the Birds” report we present a summary of how birds are doing here in the Granite State. Almost 300 species occur regularly here\, and this report outlines general population trends\, major threats facing birds and their habitats\, and some of the conservation strategies that might help them recover. The bad news is that birds are declining here as well. The good news is that there are things we can do about it. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. \nPam Hunt has been interested in birds since the tender age of 12\, when an uncle took her to Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge in NJ. She went on to earn a B.S. in biology from Cornell University\, M.A. in zoology from the University of Montana\, and a Ph.D. from Dartmouth College in 1995. Pam came to NH Audubon in 2000 after five years as adjunct faculty at Colby-Sawyer College in New London. In her current position as Avian Conservation Biologist\, she works closely with NH Fish and Game to coordinate and prioritize bird research and monitoring in the state\, and also authored NH’s “State of the Birds” report. Specific areas of interest include habitat use by early successional birds (particularly whip-poor-wills)\, conservation of aerial insectivores (e.g.\, swifts and swallows)\, and the effects of events outside the breeding season on long-distance migrants. Pam also coordinated the “NH Dragonfly Survey\,” a five-year project that mapped distributions of these insects throughout the state\, and remains active in the dragonfly field. \nSpecial thanks to our series sponsor:

SUMMARY:Becoming a MOTH-er
DESCRIPTION:Once only thought of as annoyances\, moths are now being appreciated for their beauty\, diversity\, ecological role\, pollination duties\, and economic value.  With more than 10x the number of species as their butterfly cousins\, these [mostly] nocturnal fliers show at least as much variation in color\, life history strategies\, and importance.  This talk will explore myths\, how to observe moths\, and how to participate in a number of moth-related citizen science projects…just in time for National Moth Week. \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: \nJerry Skinner recently retired as Professor Emeritus from Keystone College after 38 years of teaching all sorts of biology and after 30 years as Resident Naturalist at The Nature Conservancy’s Woodbourne Preserve in NE PA. He describes himself as an ever-curious naturalist\, always finding something to learn about Mother Nature. This journey has taken him to study fish\, birds\, marine life\, salamanders and insects. Most recently he has become a real moth-er. He identified more than 660 species of moths in his PA backyard. Recently having moved to Ithaca\, he can’t wait to participate in New York’s 3rd Breeding Bird Atlas project. \n

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled. \nStay tuned for a rescheduled date in the future. \nNew Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter \nWednesday June 9\, 2021 7:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Program – A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds \nEven 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. \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.All are welcome to attend our Wednesday May 12\, 2021 program via Zoom. The Zoom program Meeting begins 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. \n  \nFor more information see our website. \nThe Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon thanks AARP New Hampshire for their sponsorship. \nPhoto: Scott Weidensaul (©Chris DeSorbo)

SUMMARY:Native Predatory Wasps: Their Role as Pollinators and Beneficial Insects
DESCRIPTION:Native bees and predatory wasps share the same lineage and also share many behaviors and habitat requirements. Predatory wasps feed their offspring invertebrates (insects and spiders) and bees diverged from this carnivorous diet to feed their offspring plant-based food (pollen and nectar). Flower-rich landscapes provide critical habitat for both adult bees and wasps because they each consume flower nectar; in addition\, wasps need diverse\, flower-rich landscapes to hunt for their prey. Heather will highlight many amazing natural history and biology facts about native wasps illustrating their nesting habitat\, prey specificity\, and the ecosystems services they provide—pest insect population control and pollination. \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: \nHeather Holm is a biologist\, pollinator conservationist\, and award-winning author. In addition to assisting with native bee research projects\, she informs and educates audiences nationwide\, through her writing and many presentations\, about the fascinating world of native pollinators and beneficial insects\, and the native plant communities that support them. Her first book\, Pollinators of Native Plants\, was published in 2014\, and her second book\, Bees\, published in 2017\, has won six book awards including the 2018 American Horticultural Society Book Award. Her forthcoming book\, Wasps\, will be available in January 2021. Heather’s expertise includes the interactions between native pollinators and native plants\, and the natural history and biology of native bees and predatory wasps occurring in the Upper Midwest and Northeast. \n

SUMMARY:Nighthawk Watch Volunteer Training
DESCRIPTION:It’s nearly time for the first Common Nighthawks to return. These insect-eating birds were once common in cities throughout New Hampshire\, but they are now endangered in the state. Volunteers have been helping NH Audubon and the Harris Center track nesting nighthawks since 2007\, primarily in Concord\, Keene\, and the Ossipee pine barrens. Volunteers watch at specific sites from 8:00 – 9:30 pm recording any nighthawk activity. If you are interested in volunteering\, there will be an online training on June 3 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. We will provide an introduction to nighthawk identification and instructions for nighthawk watching. Closed captioning will be available. To get the login details\, please register here. Contact Becky Suomala (rsuomala@nhaudubon.org) if you have questions regarding volunteering. \nCommon Nighthawk female nesting on a stone rooftop.
