SUMMARY:Bark: Get to Know Your Trees
DESCRIPTION:The traits typically used to describe trees—leaves\, twigs\, and buds—are often hard to see or seasonally absent. Join Michael Wojtech for an exploration of bark\, which is always visible\, in any season. As you hone your perceptive abilities you will learn about a system for identifying tree species by their bark\, and discover why such a variety of bark characteristics exist. Why do some species have smooth bark\, while on others it is thick and broken? Why does bark peel? \nJoin us online via Zoom to learn to identify trees by their bark. Register on the Library’s website to attend. You will receive a link to join in your email. \nMichael left a 15-year business career to pursue his love of natural history and writing\, and earned his Master’s in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England. His thesis\, on tree bark\, became the basis for his field guide\, Bark. Though the book’s plant ID section covers trees of the Northeast\, much of the material inside speaks to the characteristics and function of bark anywhere–so it’s fascinating wherever you live.

SUMMARY:Foot Prints and More! Introduction to Wildlife Tracking
DESCRIPTION:Wildlife tracking is a useful skill for photographers\, hunters\, biologists\, conservationists\, and nature enthusiasts who want a deeper connection with wild creatures. It can involve much more than looking down at tracks. Interpreting trail patterns\, scat\, claw marks\, hair snags\, dens\, beds\, feeding sign\, etc. are also useful\, and often more revealing\, and we will touch on all. And\, since seeing is believing\, we’ll watch some videos of animals actually creating the tracks and signs they leave behind. \nJoin us for a Zoom presentation by Janet Pesaturo\, who works to bring broader awareness\, understanding\, and appreciation of our natural world through camera trapping. Click on this link to register and you’ll receive the Zoom link. \nJanet is focused on learning more about animal behavior by strategically placing trail cameras in “great animal spots.” Her goal is to share everything she learns about animals\, animal behavior\, and the techniques used to study them.  All this she does through candid\, compelling\, often dramatic photo and video footage and interpretation.
