SUMMARY:Coexisting with Connecticut’s Critters
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday February 11 at 7:00 pm\nAt the Lyme Public Hall\, 249 Hamburg Rd. (Rt. 156)\, Lyme CT \nRegistration: education@lymelandtrust.org \nCoexisting with Connecticut’s Critters with Master Wildlife Conservationist\, Ginny Apple\, Connecticut DEEP \nHow can we coexist safely with wildlife and minimize negative interactions in backyards and open spaces? \nIn Lyme\, we are fortunate to share the land\, water and sky with an impressive diversity of wildlife. We value protecting native wild animals and plants in their natural communities. However\, because of the fragmentation of habitats\, the risks of habituation and the movement of animals\, conflicts between humans and wildlife can and do occur. These interactions may increase as climate change shifts animal ranges and as species recover or disperse to new areas. \nHow can we move from conflict to coexistence? What tools and strategies can we employ to reduce conflicts that may arise when people and wildlife share landscapes? And can these strategies help imperiled wildlife rebound and expand to their historical ranges? \nThis discussion by Ginny Apple will help answer these questions and guide our thinking about animal encounters\, opening the path to coexistence. \nA native Texan\, Ginny Apple was one of the first full-time women sportswriters in the country\, who left the field mid-career to pursue a path in communications/public relations. Through the years she has hiked\, climbed\, kayaked\, skied and poked her way through the outdoors and developed a passion for all things natural. \nA move to the middle of the woods in Barkhamsted\, CT twenty years ago brought her into an environment filled with bears and other wildlife. Living in a house surrounded by Peoples State Forest\, she observes a large population of Black Bears and supplies field notes and photographs on them to DEEP bear biologists. Her affinity for this magnificent creature led her out west to participate in a Grizzly research mission in Montana and to become a Master Wildlife Conservationist with DEEP. She has been a Bald Eagle interpreter for the Shepaug Dam Eagle Observation area for 13 years and monitors Bald Eagle and Osprey nests throughout the State. \nGinny is Chair of the Barkhamsted Conservation Commission and also on the Town Economic Development Commission\, on the Boards of the Farmington River Watershed Association\, the Friends of American Legion and Peoples State Forests (FALPS)\, the Litchfield Hills Audubon Society\, the Northwoods Land Conservancy\, the Friends of Connecticut State Parks and she volunteers regularly with the Barkhamste

SUMMARY:Opossum Tales for Young Nature Lovers
DESCRIPTION:Join us during school break for a very special program with opossum rehabilitators experts Pam and Bill Lefferts of Ferncroft Wildlife Rescue. Using the big screen\, Pam will tell an engaging short picture story about backyard wildlife\, with a focus on opossums. Children will learn all about the unique characteristics of the gentle\, nocturnal creatures\, their quirky characteristics and beneficial role in nature. They may be surprised to hear that U.S. Presidents have kept opossums in the White House! Best of all\, everyone will have the chance to meet real-life opossum ambassador Brandi\, who wears a harness and leash and happily allows young guests to pet her soft fur. There will be time for questions and to have a photo taken with Brandi (animal ambassadors are always held by the presenters so they stay calm and feel safe). Geared for children four and older\, and their interested friends & family. Children 12 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. \nRegister: programreg@lymepl.org
