MY SUMMER WITH OSPREYS

Wednesday, September 18 from 6-7:30pm

 

My Summer with Ospreys

Join us at the library for a presentation by Pamela Lowell on her work volunteering with Mass Audubon and the Southcoast Osprey Nest Monitoring Project.  In addition to digging into the details of monitoring the nests, Pamela will give a “demo” of banding chicks.

Her summer with ospreys has inspired her watercolor paintings and prompted her to explore opportunities for community connection and finding ways to help heal the environment.

This event is FREE.  No registration is necessary.

This event is co-sponsored by the Wareham Land Trust and the Wareham Free Library.
