Dr. Declan McCabe, professor of biology at St. Michael's College will give a presentation entitled: Turning Stones: Exploring the Life of Water, on Thursday, November 21, at 7 PM at the Salisbury Meeting House at 853 Maple Street. Dr. McCabe's primary area of expertise is the ecology of freshwater communities. He writes a regular nature column for Northern Woodlands Magazine and recently published a book with the same title as his upcoming presentation. His book and his upcoming presentation are "a careful look at the mysteries and life that can be found in a river if you just take the time to look". Dr. McCabe's presentation will examine the rich diversity of life that depends on water, including the unique chemistry of water that makes it essential for all life. In addition, he will introduce us to a range of freshwater life forms and how to preserve clean water for the next generation. As a bonus, he will have some live invertebrates that the audience can examine under a microscope.

This presentation is the second of the Salisbury Conservation Commission's Thursday series. It is free and open to the public.
