Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.
The Clinton Land Conservation Trust invites you to our annual meeting with special guest lecturer John Himmelman. John has written and illustrated many books for children and adults on a wide variety of natural history subjects. John will be discussing his new book, "Discovering Moths: Nighttime Jewels in Your Own Backyard, Eastern North American Species."
Meet the beautiful, fascinating, and underappreciated cousins of the butterflies...
This group of insects needs a better press agent! Less than 1% of the over 11,000 species in North America are considered pests. The rest show an AMAZING variety of colors, shapes, and behaviors missed by many of us, as we tend to be indoors at night when most (not all) are active. They're an ethereal thread in our faunal tapestry.
While you will learn about a couple of the pests (like, what's the connection between Gypsy Moths and a crater on Mars?) and how they got here, we'll mostly be celebrating the vast array of bewitching and beneficial species with whom we share our yards.
This program is presented by the Clinton Land Conservation Trust. CLCT President Dana Skidmore will begin the presentation with our annual report and John Himmelman will speak at 7:30.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
No registration. Please note that this event is intended for an adult audience.
Drop-in friendly.
