Howard Romack: Invasive Species in your Backyard or Not?

Please come to the Easton Library on Thursday, May 18th at 6:00 PM to hear Mr. Howard Romack provide an up-to-date educational program about the various non-native plants and insects now threatening Washington County and the Northeast. You may be familiar with some of these in your backyard. Mr. Romack has committed his life to a cross-disciplinary approach to research, environmental education and other "real-world" experiences.

His expansive lifelong experience includes nearly 30 years of teaching Biology and Life Sciences at Cambridge Central School, working with the NYS Museum, the Department of Entomology at Cornell University, Michigan State University, the University of Florida, the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation, the Vermont Dept. of Natural Resources, the Lepidopterist's Society, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the NYS Science Teacher's Association, the Cambridge Faculty Association, and many other groups with similar goals.

Mr. Romack volunteers with numerous civic groups working as a liaison between many: The Salem Fish and Game Club, NYS Environmental Conservation Camps, the Washington County Federation of Sportsmen, Washington County Fair, 4-H Groups, the Boy Scouts and numerous other groups sharing the same goal of education for our youth.

The contribution that Mr. Romack has made in this field is much more extensive that can be included here. His collection and exhibition of the 10,000 "Backyard Insects" at the Discovery Center of the NYS Museum is but one component of his lasting legacy to the field of Entomology. He is still educating those who will listen.

The Easton Library is located at 1074 State Route 40, Greenwich (Town of Easton), NY.

Please call the library at (518) 692-2253. Presentation at 6:00 PM.
