SUMMARY:Lichen It or Not: The Wonders of Symbiosis! with Nature Columnist Susan Pike
DESCRIPTION:Join Nature Columnist\, National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions Naturalist\, Dover High School Science Teacher\, and Great Works Regional Land Trust (GWRLT) Board Member Sue Pike for a talk about the biology and basics of identifying common lichens. Lichens are a complex and beautiful life form that grow almost everywhere but are often overlooked and misunderstood. Not a plant and not a fungus\, they are composed of\, at the minimum\, two completely separate organisms-a fungus and an algae. They grow in your backyard\, in the woods\, in the fields. You’ll also find them in some of Earth’s most extreme places: mountaintops\, sea-splashed cliffs\, and gravestones. If you do any hiking in the White Mountains\, you’ll find lichens well above treeline growing on the stunted trees that are continually blasted by winter winds\, frozen into eerie shapes\, coated with rime ice\, subjected to temperatures well below zero degrees. You’ll also find them along the coast\, clinging to salt spray-soaked pine trees\, bearding cedars and other evergreens in bogs and swamps. They have even survived space! How do they do this? What exactly are they? Are they easy to identify? Come find out. \n\nRegistration Required: CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Helping New Hampshire's Turtles
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the fascinating and inspiring work of NH Turtle Rescue\, the small nonprofit organization based just down Route 125 from SELT in Nottingham and operated by Dallas Huggins and Drew Stevens\, licensed wildlife rehabilitators in the state of New Hampshire. They work closely with their mentor\, Chris Bogard\, who has been rehabilitating turtles for over 20 years. \nNH Turtle Rescue’s mission is to rescue\, rehabilitate\, release\, and preserve native turtle species through individualized care\, public education\, outreach\, and scientific research in support of imperiled populations of wild New Hampshire turtles. \nIn our early planning\, Drew mentioned the following: “I think our missions dovetail together in a very compelling way: we are the reactive side of turtle conservation in that we deal primarily with the consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation\, and SELT is the proactive side of turtle conservation by providing a means to protect important habitat and its wildlife before those wild animals become imperiled. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure\, but in this case\, there is no true cure\, so protecting habitat is truly the only way to guarantee some type of future for our native turtle species in the long-term.” \nThey will have some turtle ambassadors with them to meet during the talk as well. 🐢🐢🐢 \n\nThis event is open to all ages.\nRegistration required: CLICK HERE\n\nMore about New Hampshire Turtle Rescue can be found at nhturtlerescue.org

SUMMARY:Bird Photography Field Trip with Tony Baldasaro
DESCRIPTION:Join regionally renowned wildlife photographer Tony Baldasaro for a bird photography field trip. Tony will take you out to the northern side of the Burley Farms property to get up close with the fields\, forest\, and beaver pond and our avian friends who call these places home. Participants will learn more about finding the best scenarios for bird photography- including lighting\, bird position\, and bird action shots. This field trip is for photographers with at least some wildlife photography experience and the suggested equipment includes: \n\nDSLR or Mirrorless Camera\nLens long enough for wildlife photography (more than 200 mm). Ideally this will be a zoom lens and not a fixed lens.  (see below)\nBecause we will be primarily photographing small\, fast-moving birds\, a zoom lens with a wide range of focal lengths is ideal. (100-400\, 100-500\, 150 – 600 are examples).  Having a big\, heavy prime lens\, like a fixed 600mm\, will only slow our participants down.\nA tripod is not recommended as it can slow down your photography. Photographers should prepare to be handheld or use a nimble monopod.\n\nWe hope you can join this educational and fun morning of bird photography at Burley! To learn more about Tony and his photography\, visit his website at tb3photography.com or find him on Instagram @tb3_photo. \n\nRegistration Required: CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Watershed Walk at DeYoung-Fralic Conservation Area
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the connection between land conservation and water protection while enjoying this high-ranking wildlife habitat. A conservation priority of Brentwood for many years because of its risk for development\, the DeYoung-Fralic property was acquired by SELT in 2017. It consists of 105 acres and 3\,700 feet of pristine river-frontage along the Exeter River. The site was a former gravel pit that had been closed by Brentwood but was restored for wildlife habitat. The area provides valuable water protection and a wildlife corridor as well as includes priority focus areas for local\, state\, and federally-protected bodies of water. This walk will be led by forester Phil Auger with an anticipated length of approximately 1.5 miles. \nThis is part of the Great Bay Changemaker Program’s Watershed Walks series. \n\nDifficulty: Moderate\nRegistration Required: CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:An Introduction to the New Hampshire Veterinary Center for Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, increased human-wildlife interactions have led to an increased need for wildlife rehabilitation and veterinary care in New Hampshire and beyond. At the same time\, many NH-licensed wildlife rehabilitators have retired\, and on-the-job wildlife training for veterinarians is decreasing as veterinary colleges outsource student wildlife training to private practitioners. Join Dr. Michael Dutton and Helen Dutton to learn about their plans for a new NH Veterinary Center for Wildlife\, which aims to address these needs by providing a centralized site for veterinary care for injured wildlife in New Hampshire; on-site rehabilitation to minimize the stresses of transport; and training programs for wildlife rehabilitators\, veterinarians\, and veterinary students and staff. \n\nRegistration Required: CLICK HERE\nMore information about the New Hampshire Veterinary Center for Wildlife can be found at nhwildlifecare.org
