Please join LSPA via Zoom to learn more about winter loons. The Common Loon is a migratory species that breeds on inland freshwater lakes in Northern North America and winters (generally) on the ocean. In this presentation, Caroline Hughes, Biologist and Outreach Coordinator for the Loon Preservation Committee, will discuss the loon's autumn migration to their wintering grounds, the factors that may contribute to some loons remaining on lakes too long and becoming iced-in, the history of loon ice rescues in New Hampshire, and the lessons that the Loon Preservation Committee has learned over the past decade of loon ice rescues.

Join LSPA staff to learn about a unique early seed sowing method. Participants will learn all about native seeds and make their own mini-greenhouses and sow seeds to take home with them. This workshop will cover the benefits of germinating seeds through this method and the advantages it has over indoor seed-starting. The workshop will also cover how to plant the seedlings once they geminate. Come join the fun and learn all about how to sow your seeds in the winter!

Join us via Zoom to hear Lindsey Rustad, a Research Ecologist with the US Forest Service in the Northern Forest Science & Applications unit in Durham, New Hampshire, and the Forest Service Team Lead at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, she will share her research investigations on how human disturbances are impacting the forests of northeastern North America, particularly through climate change and acid deposition. Her approach emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to understand how ecosystems are responding to global change.

This talk describes the findings of a new study at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest that is using a suite of tools, including creating artificial ice storms, to study the impacts of these storms on northern hardwood forests. This research is providing the scientific community, land managers, and the concerned public greater insight on the effects of these powerful, frightening, and curiously aesthetic extreme winter weather events.
