Subject: Getting to Know Common Lichens

Speaker: Kendra Driscoll - New Brunswick Museum

Moncton Rotary Lodge

Lichens are a fascinating community in Mother Nature’s worldand they are with us to enjoy all year long.

Kendra Driscoll, Curatorial and Research Technician for Botany and Mycology at the New Brunswick Museum, is a specialist in lichens and has helped us appreciate the lichen photos submitted to Nature News with her always nice-to-know commentary.

Kendra will tailor her presentation to amateur lichen appreciation by introducing 10 of the most commonly encountered species with some identification features of each to help us enjoy our outdoor experiences all the more by being able to call several by name.

Expect Kendra’s contagious enthusiasm to get us all looking a bit more closely at something that cooperatively will stay still to be checked out and does not have to be stalked to look at!

All are welcome, Nature Moncton member or not.

This presentation will be delivered virtually at the Zoom link below:

Au cours de cette session, vous apprendrez les objectifs de la carte, ses caractéristiques et comment soumettre un formulaire pour y faire partie.

Cette séance d'information virtuelle aura lieu le mercredi 23 novembre, de 14 h à 15 h (heure de l'Atlantique). Inscrivez-vous ici avant le 22 novembre : https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkfuitqT8pE9VDM479Ryngh0lttSwN--TU.

Slowly and quietly during the past two decades, hundreds of Wild Turkeys eluded border officials and slipped into New Brunswick from Maine, where a vibrant population of the birds is firmly established in all 16 counties. But how does a bird of this size, a species that was never here historically, cope with finding food in deep winter snow and cold, compete with native bird species and evade potential new predators? Well, Wild Turkeys are doing just that, and quite successfully. Our Wild Turkeys now number in the thousands. This talk will explain how they do it.

NATURE MONCTON DECEMBER MEETING

Rotary Pavilion at Mapleton Park (in-person presentation)

“Birding Adventures with Jaden Barney”

It’s always a pleasure to hear from young people who have developed a passion for birding. Jaden Barney, a high school student from Sackville, NB, is one such birding enthusiast who was drawn into the world of birds at a young age. This past summer, Jaden was chosen as one of only 6 students from across Canada to take part in the youth training program at Long Point Bird Observatory in Ontario where he learned much about bird research including migration monitoring and bird banding. Jaden will tell us about this experience and share his overall love of birds and birding as well as some of his bird photography.

A great subject and presenter to lead us into the Christmas holidays! Take advantage of joining us and Jaden in person for our pre-Christmas meeting.

If you can’t make it, we will be broadcasting the presentation on Zoom at the following link:
