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 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:Exploring Connections between Humanities and the Natural Sciences
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive understanding of and appreciation for the universe includes knowledge of all aspects of reality\, necessarily canvassing across both Natural Sciences and Humanities. Dr. Maria Sanders\, a Philosophy professor at Plymouth State University\, will facilitate this workshop for Scientists\, Statisticians\, Economists\, and Educators interested in aligning their research\, lessons\, and expertise with real-world Humanities-based issues\, concepts\, and movements. Participants will discuss scientific considerations of human society from various perspectives and model ways in which scientific research and education can be understood and taught through a humanistic lens thereby promoting expanded ways to connect to our stories beyond the data. \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.

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.

SUMMARY:The Place We Call Home
DESCRIPTION:A deep awareness of the connectivity between all living things and their natural environments continues to frame core ethical factors essential for understanding the growing tension between innovative progress and nature’s carrying capacity in a contemporary technological culture. The 21st century has witnessed global pandemics\, massive climate changes\, genetic engineering\, and much more. Ethics is derived from the word “ethos” and defines a way of living. By drawing connections between historical normative theories and relevant contemporary issues\, Dr. Maria Sanders offers a pragmatic approach for addressing current global challenges through the generative power of nature. \nRegister for this free webinar through Zoom. \nThis webinar is part of the year-long Exploring Connections to and Stewardship of the Natural World talks.
