SUMMARY:Blossoming Beyond: Celebrating Queerness in Nature
DESCRIPTION:NH Audubon is thrilled to be partnering with Queerlective to provide a space to showcase their “Blossoming Beyond: Celebrating Queerness in Nature” exhibit. Blossoming Beyond explores the connection between queerness and nature\, showcasing pieces of work that represent the resilience\, strength\, and beauty of both the natural world and the LGBTQ+ community. The exhibition celebrates diversity and the intrinsic bond between individuals and the environment. Queerlective works to help create a more inclusive world for the Queer\, BIPOC\, and other marginalized communities through art\, impacting the LGBTQ community in New Hampshire and beyond. This partnership highlights NH Audubon’s commitment to protecting nature for all people\, promoting diversity and inclusivity\, and expanding opportunities to enjoy nature together. NH Audubon will be donating half of our typical commission to uplift Queerlective’s mission and to help foster the innate connection between nature and queerness.

SUMMARY:Human / Nature
DESCRIPTION:Elderglass by Jackie Hanson.\nIn this ongoing series\, artist Jackie Hanson uses pastels to paint immersive landscapes that feature both well-known and overlooked vantages\, often (but not exclusively) from New Hampshire and Maine. While pleasant to the eye\, these works help her to think about the tangled relationship between humans and nature. This relationship is both one of forces opposed to each other and inexplicably tied together. Humans can have a devastating impact on our environment\, but in many everyday cases\, you can observe the Earth reclaiming where humans have moved on. Meanwhile\, the human race is beholden to time and ultimately to our planet as well. Jackie’s paintings explore the beauty of the balance between human activity and the Earth’s reciprocity\, and the sublime power nature holds. (Recommended reading: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.) \nBio: Jackie Hanson spent her childhood in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire\, raised in a family where art and creativity were always encouraged. While growing up\, she became familiar with the beauty of the outdoors in New England: lakes\, mountains\, small farms\, and plenty of day trips to the ocean. After first using pastels in high school\, she rediscovered her love for them while in college\, and the way they made her feel the same excitement in the studio as when exploring the natural world. Jackie graduated from New England College’s Institute of Art and Design in 2022 with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and plans to continue her art practice as a career.

SUMMARY:Human / Nature
DESCRIPTION:Elderglass by Jackie Hanson.\nIn this ongoing series\, artist Jackie Hanson uses pastels to paint immersive landscapes that feature both well-known and overlooked vantages\, often (but not exclusively) from New Hampshire and Maine. While pleasant to the eye\, these works help her to think about the tangled relationship between humans and nature. This relationship is both one of forces opposed to each other and inexplicably tied together. Humans can have a devastating impact on our environment\, but in many everyday cases\, you can observe the Earth reclaiming where humans have moved on. Meanwhile\, the human race is beholden to time and ultimately to our planet as well. Jackie’s paintings explore the beauty of the balance between human activity and the Earth’s reciprocity\, and the sublime power nature holds. (Recommended reading: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.) \nBio: Jackie Hanson spent her childhood in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire\, raised in a family where art and creativity were always encouraged. While growing up\, she became familiar with the beauty of the outdoors in New England: lakes\, mountains\, small farms\, and plenty of day trips to the ocean. After first using pastels in high school\, she rediscovered her love for them while in college\, and the way they made her feel the same excitement in the studio as when exploring the natural world. Jackie graduated from New England College’s Institute of Art and Design in 2022 with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and plans to continue her art practice as a career. \nAn artist’s reception will take place on March 23\, 2-4pm at the McLane Center.

SUMMARY:Encouraging Wildlife Diversity in Designed Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:An abundance and diversity of wildlife are some of the best indicators of an ecologically well-designed landscape. By understanding how pollinators\, birds\, mammals\, reptiles and amphibians select their habitats during each season of the year\, we can design landscapes that effectively attract and support a diversity of wildlife. This presentation will provide practical methods for how to design your landscaping to attract and benefit a diversity of wildlife species. \nThis program will include a 35-40 min. video sent in advance to registered participants which will introduce you to the elements of wildlife habitat and needs. During the in-person portion\, Matt will dive a bit deeper into those concepts and then lead a walk around the Audubon property. Examples of established and potential wildlife habitats enhancements will be viewed to illustrate what can be done at home. \nThis in-person workshop will take place both indoors and outdoors. Dress for the weather and an easy walk around the Massabesic Center sanctuary. Terrain is primarily flat but uneven ground covered in short grass\, but be prepared for the possibility of muddy or wet conditions in March. Registration required by March 13. \nPresenter: Matt Tarr\, UNH Extension Wildlife Specialist \nCost:\n$10 for NH Audubon members/Extension Master Gardeners\n$15 for non-members \nFor mobility\, sensory\, behavioral\, or other accessibility accommodations\, please contact Massabesic Center Director\, Kimmie Whiteman. \nThis program is brought to you through an ongoing partnership between the University of New Hampshire Extension’s Master Gardener Program and New Hampshire Audubon. “The Demonstration Gardens at NH Audubon’s Massabesic Center” provide a place for sharing best practices in eco-friendly home and community gardening\, to benefit human health and well-being\, and wildlife habitat.

SUMMARY:Woodpeckers: A Unique and Fascinating Family
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their in person March program: Woodpeckers: A Unique and Fascinating Family. \nCome and hear Dana and Bob Fox tell the fascinating story about the woodpecker family of birds. With 233 species in the world\, they are found almost worldwide where trees are abundant. They can’t sing like some other birds\, but they certainly can make a lot of noise. They don’t migrate\, but survive on a variety of foods. They are the super craftsmen of the bird world using their bill like a chisel. Their four toes hold them vertically firm on a tree while they carve out their spacious homes and find food. We will go a bit deeper to see how this family evolved\, their special biology and how they live in difficult locations. Of course\, we have come up with some interesting stories about many of the most interesting species that might surprise you. \nDana and Bob Fox both began birding in their youth. They have birded the US (list 750 species) and the world (6500 species) visiting 6 continents and over 40 countries. They have given numerous talks in New England about the birds of countries they have visited and on crows\, loons and most recently hummingbirds. \nDana joined the South Shore Bird Club (SSBC) in 1951 when she was 12 years old.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Identifying Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:Join Mark Ellingwood\, wildlife biologist and volunteer with the Harris Center for Conservation Education\, for a training on identifying butterflies. Mark will provide basic information on butterfly biology and introduce you to a few of the larger more common species you may see in your neighborhood. Participants will also hear about opportunities to learn more and future field days being offered throughout the state\, including July Butterfly Counts where volunteers can help survey for butterflies and collect data. All butterfly enthusiasts are welcome\, with or without prior experience! \nThis training is part of a series of six webinars hosted by the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network\, a collaborative effort led by NH Fish & Game Department to engage volunteers in counting and identifying butterflies across New Hampshire. The series will provide information on butterflies in New Hampshire\, butterfly biology and identification\, and how to get involved with the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network. For more information and to register for the session(s) you want to attend (you don’t need to attend them all)\, visit naturegroupie.org. All butterfly enthusiasts are welcome\, with or without prior experience! \nContact:\nHeidi Holman\, NH Fish and Game: 603-271-3018\nHaley Andreozzi\, UNH Cooperative Extension: 603-862-5327\, haley.andreozzi@unh.edu \nPhoto by Rebecca Suomala.
