SUMMARY:Journeys in Listening: Birds and More from Acadia and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:**New Date** \nJoin us for a journey in listening to wildlife audio recordings from Acadia and beyond\, and the stories of adventure and discovery behind them. Laura Sebastianelli is a naturalist with a passion for listening and sound recording. In 2017\, she established “Schoodic Notes: Bird Sounds of Acadia\,” a collaborative project with Schoodic Institute’s Bird Ecology program. Along with the help of a few other natural sound recordists\, the project has archived over 1200 recordings of Acadia’s birds. \nIn partnership with the Camden Public Library\, this will be a free online Zoom presentation starting at 6:30 pm. Use this link to register for this free event. \nLaura is also a seasoned educator and wildlife technician. She has long sought opportunities to empower others to develop their knowledge\, skills\, and experience to understand\, connect with\, and serve the natural world. She holds a Master of Science in Ecological Teaching and Learning from Lesley University in Cambridge\, MA. She created and ran natural and cultural history programs for adults and families through University of Maine Cooperative Extension at Tanglewood 4-H Camp and Learning Center\, the National Park Service\, and many other organizations. She has also conducted track surveys of Canada Lynx via snowmobile\, and howling surveys in search of Gray Wolf\, in Maine’s North Woods. Partially retired these days\, she spends most of her free time exploring the natural world\, and especially recording natural sounds. \nPhoto by Murray Carpenter\, Maine Public

SUMMARY:All About Screech Owls
DESCRIPTION:Screech owls are the owl most likely to nest in a backyard\, but few people know how to entice them to move in—or how to thwart those pesky squirrel interlopers. Jim Wright\, author of The Screech Owl Companion\, from Timber Press\, will tell all.  Jim thinks the photos alone are worth the price of this entertaining compendium\, but see for yourself. \nJoin us for this virtual Zoom presentation presented in partnership with Camden Public Library on February 20\, 2024 at 6 pm.  You can register for the event here. \nJim Wright is also the author of The Real James Bond\, a biography of the author and birdman who summered on Mount Desert Island and fell prey to the world’s most famous case of identity theft. The Wall Street Journal called it “slim and elegant” — like Bond himself. Jim’s other books include large-format books about Central America’s largest rainforest\, Pennsylvania’s legendary Hawk Mountain\, and the New Jersey Meadowlands.

SUMMARY:Welcome to the Pyrocene
DESCRIPTION:Ecological Implications for a Planet on Fire – \nPyrocene is a term used to describe the human use of fire and how it impacts our planet. The term was first coined in 2015 by Stephen Pyne of Arizona State University. Fire can be a friend or foe. This program will describe how humans first harnessed fire and eventually switched to burning fossil fuels. We will then discuss forest fire ecology\, zombie forests\, prescribed fire\, fire weather\, and related topics to better understand the ecological implications of a planet that seems to be on fire. \nThis will be a virtual presentation on Zoom presented in partnership with the Camden Public Library. You can register for the event here. \nDavid Govatski is a naturalist and author. He retired after working for the US Forest Service for over 30 years. He served as a fire management officer on a national interagency incident management team for eight years. David’s first job in the Forest Service was as a fire lookout on the Devil’s Head Lookout on the Pike National Forest in Colorado. He worked on the Redmond Hotshot firefighting crew on the Deschutes National Forest in Oregon and worked on numerous large forest fires\, including the 1988 Yellowstone Fires. He also worked on multiple prescribed fires in his career. David has maintained a strong personal interest in the study of fire ecology.

SUMMARY:Tracking Wildlife in Maine
DESCRIPTION:Kirk Gentalen is the regional stewardship manager for mid-coast Maine for Maine Coast Heritage Trust and writes about the ecology of the area in his Nature Bummin’ blog. A self-described nature observer\, one of his passions is tracking wildlife especially in winter. He can read their tracks like the news and figure out what the critters have been up to. \nKirk takes care of MCHT conserved lands on Vinalhaven and North Haven islands. That means taking care of trail and forestry needs and monitoring easements. He connects with island residents through environmental education\, volunteering\, and outreach programs. He also compiles wildlife sightings on Vinalhaven in a most entertaining blog! \nJoin us for our monthly program on January 18 at 6:30 pm in person at the Camden Public Library\, or participate on Zoom in this hybrid program. For Zoom\, you need to register in advance.
