MBC Trips this week starting Tuesday
Paul Ippolito
Fellow MBC members,
We have a series of walks this week starting on Tuesday at Horn Pond in Woburn as well as a look ahead of some upcoming trips in April. Do however continue to
look at the weekly e-mails as we continually add trips based upon what is being
seen, weather and availability of our leaders.
To help you plan ahead, our next meeting will be on Tuesday, April 29th @ 7:00 PM at the Jenks Center, 109 Skillings Road in Winchester as we will have Robert J. Gegear an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at UMass Dartmouth presenting - More than just the buzz: A practical guide to restoring pollinator-generated biodiversity (and why it matters)
Plant-pollinator diversity is declining at an alarming rate across New England, pushing many species to the brink of local extinction unless urgent conservation measures are implemented. In this talk, Robert will discuss using species-level ecological data to vastly improve recommended plant lists aimed at restoring bumblebee and butterfly diversity on degraded landscapes including how ‘Beecologist’ citizen scientists have used data-driven conservation approach to successfully restore pollination diversity ranging from home gardens to multi-acre conservation lands. Doors open at 6:30 for set up and social time and the meeting starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Early spring is providing
some interesting observations being posted throughout Massachusetts so keep
exploring your local patches, report what you’re seeing and enjoy all
that our area has to offer.
