Wildlife Talk: All About Bats
Tuesday, July 11 at 6:30 PM
Bats are one of the world’s most beneficial and misunderstood animals. With over 1,300 different species around the world, nine can be found in Connecticut, eight of which are at risk.
Ginny Apple, Master Wildlife Conservationist with the CT DEEP, will discuss the economic value of bats, their migration and hibernation patterns, decline and disease as well as steps the public can take to help ensure the health and safety of our bat populations.

Summer Foraging with 3 Foragers
Thursday, July 27 at 6:30 PM
Learn how to identify, sustainably harvest, and prepare the wild foods of summer, from beach plums to invasive wineberries, including some of the choice summer fungi like chanterelles and the myriad of pored Boletes. Join The 3 Foragers as they teach the edible plants and fungi of summer with their original photos and recipe ideas featured in an educational slideshow.
The 3 Foragers are a family from southeastern Connecticut who have been identifying, photographing, and cooking with the edible plants and fungi of New England for more than 17 years. Their blog, Facebook page, and book all focus on family-friendly, environmentally sustainable harvest of both our native and invasive species of plants, and ways to incorporate these foods into your diet with original recipes.
