When it comes to wildlife, renowned photographer and wildlife researcher Sue Morse puts it this way: "If you DON'T build it, they will come." In other words, wild animals need intact, interconnected, wild habitat to survive and thrive. Join Sue as she shares her remarkable photos and insights about the wildlife with whom we share this place we call home, their need for wild habitat, and the actions individuals and communities can take to promote wildness. In this online talk, she'll focus on the Champlain Valley—Vermont's most densely populated region—where opportunities still abound to encourage wild habitats. So pop your popcorn, gather family and friends, and savor Sue's presentation! Q&A will follow Sue's talk.
