SUMMARY:NEWT Speaker Series | A Biologist’s Eye: Cultivating Curiosity in Our Backyard
DESCRIPTION:Join this online webinar for a discussion between Thor Hanson and veteran conservationist Kathleen Fitzgerald on nature observations. Register here. \nHanson and Fitzgerald will discuss Hanson’s new book\, Close to Home: The Wonders of Nature Just Outside Your Door\, which celebrates curiosity as an essential ingredient for appreciating and connecting with Nature. The pair will discuss how learning to observe life in its many forms\, from tiny backyard soil dwellers to magnificent trees in old forests\, can help motivate us to protect the natural world. A Q&A session will follow Hanson and Fitzgerald’s discussion. \nAuthor and biologist Thor Hanson is a Guggenheim Fellow\, a Switzer Environmental Fellow\, and winner of the John Burroughs Medal. His many books include Close to Home\, Buzz\, Feathers\, and the children’s favorites The Escape Artist and Star and the Maestro. Thor’s work has been translated into a dozen languages and earned many accolades\, including the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science and three Pacific Northwest Book Awards. He co-hosted the PBS Nature series American Spring Live\, and has appeared on programs ranging from Fresh Air to Science Friday\, and WIRED Currents. Hanson lives with his family on an island in the Pacific Northwest. \nKathleen Fitzgerald is the Project Director\, Enduring Earth at The Pew Charitable Trusts\, former Vice President at the African Wildlife Foundation\, partner at Conservation Capital\, and was co-founder and Executive Director of Northeast Wilderness Trust. \nPhotography by Stephen Matter and Kathleen Ballard Photography.

SUMMARY:Beavers and Wilderness Guided Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Northeast Wilderness Trust for a guided walk exploring the wild side of Split Rock Wildway (Brookfield Headwaters Trail)\, Essex\, NY. Please register below. \n\n\n\n\nLed by Janelle Jones\, NEWT’s New York Land Steward\, this relaxed walk will cover the 0.6-mile Brookfield Headwaters Trail. Along the way\, we’ll look for signs of beaver activity and take in the signs of mid-spring as well as wildflowers and migrating birds. Though some of the outing will be on the maintained trail\, attendees should be prepared for off-trail walking as well. \nLocation: Split Rock Wildway (Brookfield Headwaters Trail)\, Essex\, NY. Exact meeting point TBD. \nTo ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience\, attendees are encouraged to bring: \n· Difficulty level: Easy \n· Multiple layers (weather can vary) \n· Snacks \n· Sturdy hiking boots or shoes \nWe hope you will join us for a great morning outdoors! \n\n\n\nJanelle Jones joined Northeast Wilderness Trust with a background that complemented the wild terrain of the Northeast. After taking a brief break from higher education\, Janelle obtained a master’s degree in conservation biology from Green Mountain College in 2019\, but her environmental journey did not start there. Her “forever-passion” for “forever-wild” places stems from a lifetime of outdoor explorations and professional and volunteer endeavors across northern New York. As a resident of the Adirondack Park\, Janelle enjoys canoeing\, birding\, skiing\, and day-dreaming about the next adventure. Janelle can answer any questions about the Wilderness Trust’s conserved properties in New York and is a NYS Guide\, a Level 1 Leave No Trace Instructor\, and a Certified Interpretive Guide. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Letting Nature Lead: The Promise of Passive Rewilding
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about restraint\, respect\, and the long view of forest conservation. \nPassive rewilding is the practice of stepping back and allowing forests to grow and change on their own. In this event\, we’ll explore what that looks like in practice\, and why it matters. \nTogether\, we’ll consider the benefits of letting natural processes unfold\, reflect on the difference between human and forest timescales\, and think about the value of future old-growth forests whether or not we’re here to see them. \nShelby Perry is the Wildlands Ecology Director at Northeast Wilderness Trust. She oversees all aspects of the Wildlands Ecology program\, which conducts\, supports\, and shares ecological research pertaining to wildlands and inventories ecological values on the Wilderness Trust’s protected lands. She holds a B.S. in Environmental Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an M.S. in Plant Biology – Field Naturalist from the University of Vermont\, and speaks and presents frequently around the Northeast on wildlands\, rewilding\, and old forests. When not working in them\, Shelby can usually be found playing in wild forests\, exploring them on foot\, in snowshoes\, or through the lens of her camera.
