on and how you can get involved!

 Presenter:

Margery Winters

Assistant Director

Roaring Brook Nature Center

 

Back by popular demand after her wonderful presentation 'Changing Land, Changing Animals' last year, Margery will help us consider our common gardening and land management

 practices to see what each of us can do to

help protect and preserve our wild areas.

 

Join us on a late winter Sunday afternoon for

a fascinating presentation, our annual election

of Board members, updates on the Land Trust

and our current priorities, refreshments,

 and a friendly visit with neighbors.

Bring your questions!
