Habitat Management for Birds & Biodiversity
Place: Fox Research & Demonstration Forest, 309 Center Rd., Hillsborough, NH
Price: Free
Ages: Older
Speaker: David King, Research Wildlife Biologist, USFS Northern Research Station, Amherst MA
Many bird species are declining and require habitat protection and management for their numbers to persist. This is especially true for disturbance dependent species. Landowners and natural resource managers play crucial roles in managing farmlands, forests and wetland habitats to maximize avian diversity and to protect special habitat features within these habitats. David King will discuss trends in early-successional habitats and the species which depend on them. Learn about the ecology of birds adapted to specialized habitat provided by young and other wildlife species. David will share how these requirements inform conservation and land management priorities.

Field Trip to Naulakha
Place: HSCC (Historical Society of Cheshire County), Keene, NH
Price: $12 for members/$16 for non-members
Ages: All
HSCC will once again offer a Field Trip to Naulakha. Naulakha was author Rudyard Kipling's home in Dummerston, Vermont. Built in 1892-93, the abandoned property was rescued by The Landmark Trust, USA in 1992 and is a National Historic Landmark for its unusual example of Shingle Style architecture. Kipling, who had a hand in the design, described Naulakha as a ship, with his study in the prow and the kitchen in the stern. It commands spectacular views over sloping meadows to the Connecticut River valley and mountains of New Hampshire.
In addition to touring Kipling's home, storyteller Jackson Gillman will offer a performance as Kipling telling his "Just So Stories." These are Kipling's well known children's stories that he first told to his daughter at Naulakha.
The Naulakha field trip will be on Tuesday, March 20th. We will car pool from HSCC, leaving at 9:30 to be at Naulakha for our 10:30 tour and performance. Space is limited to 20 people. Cost is $12.00 for HSCC members and $16.00 for non-members. To reserve your place for a tour of Naulakha and performance by storyteller Jackson Gillman, please contact HSCC by email or at 352-1895.
Vernal Pool Monitoring Training
Time: 7:00 pm
Place: Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro, VT
Price: Free
Ages: Older
Within a few weeks, the vernal pools will come alive. These small, temporary bodies of water provide important breeding habitat for several amphibian species and contribute to the ecological richness of forest communities. As part of Southeastern Vermont Audubon’s monthly program series, Patti Smith will show slides of vernal pools, their denizens, and discuss their importance. She will aslo talk about BEEC’s vernal pool monitoring project, which will be expanding this year. The information gathered will help to answer two questions over time:: 1) Is climate change affecting the lenght of time and period of the year the pools hold water? and 2) Are populations for vernal pool amphibians growing, declining, or fluctuating?
Those interested in monitoring a vernal pool will have an opportunity to learn about the protocol and pick up the necessary materials.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published, 1852
