re Pictou Co. Naturalist presentations

Hi all

Tomorrow, Tues March 3 at 6:30 pm at the community room of the New =
Glasgow library, local naturalist and artist Mark Brennan, from White =
Hill will give a presentation titled "Seeking the Great =
Silence-Exploring the Old Growth Forests of Vancouver Island Through Art =
and Sound".=20

Mark has been expanding his art work into recording sounds in nature and =
in May 2014, he made a trip to Vancouver Island where he captured both =
sights and sounds of old growth forests and he will share this work with =
us and demonstrate how this not only a way to preserve these intact =
wildernesses in art but also how it has deepened the sense of wild in =
him and hopefully to us the audience. He will also be speaking on the =
Garry Oak forest - an amazing ecosystem. Mark always puts on a great =
presentation as his passion for nature pours out so come on out and =
bring a friend to show support.=20

Note the correction of the date from my last notice. This presentation =
is March 3 -not May 3.=20


3) Our "April" presentation will be actually be held Tues. March 31 and =
the topic will be Hypopagea - the Realm of Winter-active Insects=20

St. Francis Xavier Student Lucas Daut will be joined by teacher Randy =
Lauff as they present findings on research into insects active in =
winter.=20

Ask anyone - 'What happens to insects in winter?' and you'll likely get =
one of two answers: 'They die.' or 'They go dormant.' In reality, we do =
find snowfleas, winter stoneflies and snow scorpionflies active on =
milder days in winter. However, those insects reflect a mere pittance of =
the activity which some beetles and bugs (among others) show. Where are =
all these winter-active insects?  In hypopagea, of course!" =20

Everyone welcome to come out and find out about this intriguing topic =
with a strange new name!
