New Haven’s Conservation Commission kicks off its 2015-16 “Armchair Naturalist” Speaker Series on November 19th: “Across Time and Space: The Changing New Haven Landscape.”
No matter how long you have lived in New Haven (or fill in your own town’s name), you can always learn something new about your PLACE* on the planet! In previous years, the Armchair Naturalist speakers have educated us on topics such as bobcats, coyotes, bears and coverts. Beginning this month, the Conservation Commission invites you to this first in a series of talks focused on specific aspects of our place in the Town of New Haven.
Date, time, location: Thursday November 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Hall (78 North Street, next to Beeman School in New Haven)
Speaker: Emma Stuhl, Field Naturalist student from UVM who worked on New Haven’s PLACE Program* in 2015 will present “Across Time and Space: The Changing New Haven Landscape.”
Presentation: From the formation of New Haven's soil to the arrowheads that farmers dug up over the years, Emma Stuhl’s research in New Haven this summer unearthed loads of good dirt on the natural and cultural history of the town. Join us as the UVM Field Naturalist shares an integrated story of the New Haven landscape, discussing topics ranging from ancient rock formations to current-day wildlife habitat.
Come learn more about New Haven and practice looking at the world through a new lens.
