SUMMARY:NH Butterfly Monitoring Trainings - Identification Basics
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the New Hampshire Butterfly Monitoring Trainings! \nNew Hampshire Audubon is excited to partner with New Hampshire Fish and Game (NHFG) to collect long-term data on butterflies in the Concord region and beyond. Sightings will provide valuable data on how species ranges are changing over time. Your data will help support butterfly conservation across the state. \nThis partnership group will host a series of butterfly ID trainings over the next few months – both online and in the field. Butterfly experts from across the state will be our guides. This is an amazing opportunity to learn and participate in butterfly conservation. \nDuring the series you will receive information about future training webinars and field days that will be offered in your area\, including Butterfly Surveys that will take place at 6 locations across the state. The online and field sessions will provide you with an eye-opening experience to connect with species you may not have noticed in the past. No matter what your skill level is\, you are welcome to join us. Together we can help track New Hampshire’s butterflies and make a difference in their conservation. \nOnline training sessions are scheduled for the following dates: \nFebruary 22 at 6:30pm: Mark Ellingwood will provide basic information on butterfly biology and introduce us to some of the more common species you may see in your neighborhoods. Sign up for this webinar on Nature Groupie. \nMarch 8 at 6:30pm: George De Wolf will explore the world of hairstreaks and blue butterflies.

SUMMARY:A Guide to Restoring the Little Things that Run the World
DESCRIPTION:A Guide to Restoring the Little Things that Run the World \nThursday\, October  27: 7-8:15pm \nCost: Free \nRegistration Link \nDoug Tallamy\, T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. He is the author of numerous publications and books on understanding the ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His books include Bringing Nature Home\, Nature’s Best Hope and The Nature of Oaks. Doug’s Homegrown National Park initiative is transforming how we think and act on maintaining biodiversity in our world. \nJoin Doug Tallamy as he shares how we can all make a difference. A recent UN report predicts that as many as 1 million species will disappear from planet earth because of human activities. Many of these are insects and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. The most alarming part of this statistic is that we don’t seem to care\, despite the fact that a world without insects is a world without humans! So how do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life; landscapes that support the pollinators\, herbivores\, detritivores\, predators and parasitoids that run the ecosystems we depend on? Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play\, and describe the simple changes we must make in our landscapes and our attitudes to keep insects on the ground\, in the air and yes\, on our plants. \nNew Hampshire Audubon Pollinator Speaker Series: Celebrating and Engaging in Pollinator Conservation \n  \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. 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.

SUMMARY:Hummingbirds are Energy Ninjas\, Day and Night
DESCRIPTION:Pollinator Series: Wednesday\, April 27: 7pm – 8:15pm \nRegistration Link \nJoin Anusha Shankar\, a Rose Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and a National Geographic Explorer and Young Leader who has been studying hummingbirds and their amazing adaptations. \nHummingbirds live fast. They have among the highest metabolic rates of all vertebrates\, and must eat constantly to stay alive. Their existence is closely tied to the availability of their food resources – nectar plants and insects. What do hummingbirds do when they can’t see their food plants at night or eat? Do they starve\, or perhaps… go into a hibernation-like state? Find out some of the surprising nightlife of hummingbirds! \nBio: Anusha Shankar studies hummingbirds as a Rose Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. She is fascinated by hummingbirds’ ability to use a hibernation-like state called torpor to save energy at night. She is investigating how they can get cold (50°F) and rewarm safely every night\, without damaging organs like their hearts and brains. During her PhD\, Anusha captured hummingbird nightlife with infrared video\, and before that tracked king cobras and studied giant birds—hornbills—in India. Anusha is also a National Geographic Explorer and Young Leader and loves mentoring students\, dancing salsa\, bachata\, and swing\, and reading fiction. \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.

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:Where Migratory Birds Need Us Most
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on an array of familiar breeding species that undertake the perils of migration\, where they go\, the threats they face\, and what must be done to conserve them. Scott will talk about the efforts he is currently involved with protecting some of our most threatened shorebirds: Piping Plover\, Red Knot\, Hudsonian Godwit\, and Buff-breasted Sandpiper\, as well as some of our songbirds that show serious declines\, and the current and potential projects to address this. You will hear how science in recent years has pin-pointed the whereabouts of these species during migration\, how long they linger from site to site\, and where they seem to do well or do poorly. Take heart in knowing that there are hundreds of bird conservationists working at hundreds of IBAs\, and success stories abound. \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.

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: \nScott Hecker has worked to conserve threatened birdlife for over forty years.  His graduate studies at Antioch University took him to Belize in the 1980s where he successfully helped establish the largest private tropical forest reserve in Central America.  For the next 30 years he led efforts for the Massachusetts Audubon Society\, National Audubon Society\, and the Goldenrod Foundation to conserve the nesting habitat of Piping Plovers\, terns\, and other beach-nesting species. His tenure in Massachusetts helped Piping Plovers increase from 126 pairs in 1987 to 611 pairs in 2011.  He summarized this work in “The Piping Plover as an Umbrella Species for the Barrier Beach Ecosystem” in Saving Biological Diversity\, edited by Askins\, R.A. et al.  In 2008 he founded the non-profit Conservian\, Inc to develop comprehensive fieldwork to protect plovers and terns on their non-breeding grounds as well as resident beach-nesting species on the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas. In 2016 he began his current position as the Director of Bird Conservation for the International Conservation Fund of Canada\, where he has broadened his activities to fund and oversee conservation efforts for North America’s most threatened migratory birds as well as globally endangered species occurring within the Tropics of Latin America\, Africa\, and Asia. Scott lives in Temple\, New Hampshire where he serves as the Chair of the Conservation Commission and the boards for local non-profit organizations focused on conservation and the arts. \n
