There’s No Place Like Home!
Find out just why on Wednesday, October 2, when acclaimed naturalist and award-winning photographer Sue Morse presents a slide show describing the rich and diverse habitat that makes our area a stand-out.
Sue has spent 40 years studying and photographing wildlife here in the foothills of the Green Mountains as well as across the U.S. and Canada. When she hasn’t been in the field she’s frequently on stage enthralling audiences with her incisive, witty and well-researched wildlife presentations on everything from bobcats to bears. Her talk on October 2 will focus on those and other species that still find western Chittenden County a great place to live. You can find more on Sue and her work at keepingtrack.org.
Sue’s talk will take place from 7-9 p.m. at the Camels Hump Middle School Cafeteria. There is no admission charge.
Event sponsors are Richmond Market and Beverage; Rebecca and Terry Ryan; the Jericho Conservation Commission and Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Tool (VCAT). It’s presented as part of the Science to Action Project, a collaborative effort by the Towns of Bolton, Huntington, Jericho and Richmond to identify important natural resources and explore strategies that individual landowners and towns as a whole can take to better steward them.

Something Wild for October 2
Ever wonder what kind of critters are out roaming the beautiful landscapes that surround us? On Wednesday, October 2, you can learn about their hidden lives via the award-winning photography and direct observations of Sue Morse, who’ll present a free slide show and talk at Camels Hump Middle School from 7-9 pm.
Sue will describe why “There’s No Place Like Home” from the dual perspectives of our local human and wildlife populations. Besides the recognition for her photography and presentation skills, she’s a nationally known naturalist, wildlife tracking and habitat expert. For October 2, she’s assembled a fascinating collection of images and stories based on her decades of living here, exploring the wild parts of our towns and studying the animals living there.

Not to be Missed: Sue Morse on Local Wildlife, Wednesday Evening
You won’t hear anything about lions and tigers but you’ll still be saying “Oh my” this coming Wednesday when you see Sue Morse’s award-winning photography of bear, moose, bobcat, coyote and other animals living in our part of the Green Mountains. Sue will narrate a slide show at Camels Hump Middle School from 7-9 pm about why such a diverse range of animals – scarce if not gone elsewhere – see our neck of the woods as “Home Sweet Home.” There’s no charge for the event.
Sue is science director of Keeping Track as well as an award-winning photographer, forester and nationally acclaimed speaker. As one reviewer noted, “If the Michelin Guide did conservation speakers she'd get four stars. She lives what she speaks and it's clear that she's made a success of it. Her beautiful photographs and the layers of knowledge from the different areas of her expertise are all woven together in her message.” You can find more raves and background on Sue and her work at keepingtrack.org.
