Nature Moncton October meeting

October 18, 2022, at 7:00 PM

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:

Deer Island Birding with Paul Mansz and the Saint John Naturalists Club

A fall day on Deer Island can run the gamut from fairly quiet to quite exciting – we never know what this trip will bring us!

A number of sea birds will be seen from the ferry, and once on the island we will be looking for lingering migrants as well as newly arrived wintering birds. We will check a number of overlooks of fresh and salt water, lunch at the campground, and hike the MacPhail property.
