We’ve all seen the images of polar bears clinging to ice floes in a thawing sea. But what about all the other animals that live in the north – caribou, wolves, arctic foxes, Canada lynx, marten, beluga whales and more. What’s in store for them?

A noted naturalist who has roamed the far north far and wide and who earlier this month captivated a packed audience in Richmond is coming back with another fascinating talk and slide show. On Tuesday, February 3, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Sue Morse will be at the Richmond Free Library to discuss “Animals of the North: What Will Global Climate Change Mean to Them?”

Sue will illustrate her talk with descriptions and photographs of her first-hand experiences with the whole host of animals who depend on arctic and sub-arctic habitats, and who are already beginning to feel the effects of climate change. There’ll be time for questions and time for Sue to offer some ideas on what we can all do to give these fascinating creatures a fighting chance.

Sue’s talk is free and is being sponsored by the Richmond Conservation Commission, Bolton Conservation Commission, Richmond Climate Action Committee, Richmond Land Trust and Alison’s Aquatics.
