SUMMARY:Women of Cancer Alley in Film & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In anticipation of the global climate strike on Friday\, September 20th\, we welcome The Women of Cancer Alley\, a first-ever collection of films made by women who live adjacent to chemical plants\, tank farms and refineries along the Mississippi River in south Louisiana. \n\nSeven two-minute films depict the lives\, concerns and activism of eight women working to stop the country’s planned build out of plastics plants\, including a proposed Formosa complex of 14 facilities that will produce single use plastics and an estimated 26 million tons of greenhouse gases in the already-burdened St. James Parish. The nearby community in St. John Parish has the highest cancer risk in the nation because of unregulated emissions from Denka’s neoprene plant. These communities are ground zero to halt what would be an enormous climate\, sustainability and environmental disaster — industry plans to expand by 35% over the next 6 years! Come talk with two of the grassroots leaders mobilizing to keep families from the harm of additional toxic emissions\, while protecting the global climate from more greenhouse gases. \nThis program will feature the film shorts as well as a discussion with Anne Rolfes Director of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and Sharon Lavigne Founder & Director of RISE St. James. You can read more about this here and here. \nWomen of Cancer Alley Film & Conversation: Short Films by Women Living Alongside the Petrochemical Industry & Conversation with Frontline Activists from Louisiana \nWednesday\, September 18\, 7:00-8pm\,\nReception and conversation with presenters 8-8:30pm\, light refreshments\nFree\, donations requested\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Nature All Year: Singing Insects
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our sixth year of offering an in-depth natural history course for naturalists and citizen scientists. Each month\, in our series of nature explorations with different local naturalists\, we explore a focused\, seasonal\, natural history topic. We’ll look at nature in new ways\, varying from broad habitat-wide perspectives to the finer details of individual species. Over the course of the year we’ll visit a variety of natural habitats in the greater Pioneer Valley area. Identification skills\, ecological connections\, adaptations\, and life cycles of organisms will be the focus of our observations. Bring your curiosity and observation skills and be prepared to spend time outdoors. Dress for the weather as we rarely cancel due to inclement weather. Bring binoculars and a hand lens\, water and snacks if you would like. Carpooling to more distant locations will be encouraged. \nSeptember 15: Singing Insects with Laurie Sanders\nWe will gather for a late summer concert of insect calls – crickets\, grasshoppers\, and katydids. Laurie will help us sort out categories of insect calls and then narrow down the possibilities of what we hear. We will go outdoors and listen after dark to the spectacular concert that graces our late summer fields and forests. \nSundays once per month\, 9am-12pm (some class times may vary depending on topics)\nSign up for the remainder of the year: $140 members/$170 non-members.\nOr\, $30 per session.\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Hawk Watch at Skinner State Park
DESCRIPTION:As the summer season shifts to autumn\, a great migration gets underway as birds large and small head take to the skies for warmer climates. Join Dave King\, U.S. Forest Service Wildlife Biologist\, and Dan Ziomek\, host of the long-running show “Bird Songs” on 93.9 The River\, for this year’s Hawk Watch on the summit of Mount Holyoke. \nDave and Dan will provide an introduction to the hawks and other raptors that we see in our region\, and we’ll talk about how to identify them. You’ll also learn about the ecology of hawks from nesting to migration\, as well as about conservation efforts that aim to support hawks and other bird species\, including the American kestrel. If weather conditions are favorable for flying\, we may see a variety of hawks\, falcons\, and vultures soaring past. Binoculars or a scope are recommended and heavy rain cancels. This event is co-hosted by Kestrel Land Trust. \nNOTE: Skinner State Park charges a $5 parking fee to drive up to the parking areas close to the Summit House. You may choose to park below the ranger gate and hike up to the Summit\, avoiding the parking fee. \nwith Dan Ziomek and Dave King \nSaturday\, September 14th 10am-12pm \nFREE\, Donations appreciated.\nRegistration is required\, and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Nature Summer Camp: Session 5 Incredible Insects (And Other Arthropods!)
DESCRIPTION:This week we’ll discover the insects and other arthropods\, such as spiders\, millipedes and crustaceans that share our home with us. From butterfly to bumblebee\, and cockroach to click beetle we’ll find out the characteristics that make these animals amazing survivors. We’ll learn about insects’ unique adaptations and life cycles and how many insects help humans in our everyday lives! Through collection and observation\, games and art projects\, we will study the insects and arthropods of our local habitats and beyond. By the end of our week\, you might just ask yourself\, where would the world “bee” without insects? \nAugust 12 – 16 (1 week)\nMembers $295/Non-members $330\nRegistration \nYoung Naturalists: Entering grades 1-2\nEco-investigators: Entering grades 3-4\nNature Explorers: Entering grades 5-6

SUMMARY:Nature Summer Camp: Session 4 At Home in the Wild
DESCRIPTION:Come fine-tune your senses and sharpen your nature observation skills. Campers will learn how to silently fox-walk through the forest and camouflage themselves so they can’t be seen. We will learn about the animals around us and their strategies for survival in the wild. With field trips\, live animal observations\, predator/prey games and songs we’ll discover how all living things\, including us\, depend on each other. By the end of this session\, you might just feel a bit more at home in the wild! \nJuly 29 – August 9 (2 weeks)\nMembers $535/Non-members $595\nRegistration \nYoung Naturalists: Entering grades 1-2\nEco-investigators: Entering grades 3-4\nNature Explorers: Entering grades 5-6
