Part 4: Five Hundred Years of Wildlife Changes in Northampton
A Zoom Presentation by co-director and naturalist Laurie Sanders
|
During the last 500 years, there have been dramatic changes in the abundance and variety of Northampton’s wildlife species. Some, like wolves, mountain lions, and passenger pigeons, are completely gone. Others, like black bears, beavers, and wild turkeys, have seen their populations rebound after decades or centuries of absence. And many other species—coyotes, cardinals, and gypsy moths, to name a few—have arrived and become year-round residents. In this presentation, Laurie Sanders will highlight historical changes and trends that have led to the mix of animal species that we now encounter in Northampton, from its urbanized center to its wilder spaces.
Fee: Sliding Scale $0 - $20
