SUMMARY:Webinar: Return to the Sky: The Reintroduction of the Bald Eagle\, with Tina Morris
DESCRIPTION:As the bald eagle\, our national symbol\, was facing extinction in the continental U.S. in 1976\, Tina Morris was beginning her graduate work at Cornell University. By luck and circumstance\, she was selected to reintroduce the species into New York State in the hope that eagles could repopulate eastern North America. Young\, female\, with no experience\, she faced the challenges of saving this iconic bird while striving for acceptance in the unfamiliar male-dominated world of raptor biology. Playing mother to seven eagles forced her to transcend the isolation and tedium of field research to rescue an endangered species while in turn rescuing herself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTina Morris completed her graduate work in ornithology and wildlife biology at Cornell in 1978\, writing her thesis on the adaptations of hacking techniques to reintroduce bald eagles. Following her studies at Cornell\, she worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nature Conservancy for several years\, focusing on endangered species and critical habitat conservation\, before embarking on a 23-year career teaching English and biology. Since her retirement in 2020\, she has devoted her time to her own writing\, especially creative non-fiction with a science or nature focus. Thirty years ago\, with four children in tow\, Tina and her husband bought a farm in northern Massachusetts\, which they manage as a wildlife sanctuary\, promoting biodiversity and habitat protection for species in decline. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTina’s book “Return to the Sky” was published in October 2024.

SUMMARY:Woodland Walk & Bird Tree Decorating
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event will open in late November. Stay tuned! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that 2026 French & Pickering members enjoy registration list priority to this event until Sunday\, November 29 11:59pm. Before this deadline\, members that register will be added to the registration list\, and non-members that register will be put on a waitlist. After this deadline\, we will email non-members who registered during member early access to confirm their registration. If space fills during the member early access period\, non-members waiting on their confirmation will be added to a waitlist and notified.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStarting Monday\, November 30\, if registration space is still available\, members will no longer have registration list priority and registration will become first come\, first serve. If you wish to attend – whether you are a member or not – please register as early as possible for the best chance of securing a spot. Want early access to our most popular programs to ensure your spot on the registration list? Consider joining our membership community! Your membership supports conservation\, trail stewardship at our Preserves\, and people connecting with nature. Learn more here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for one of our most anticipated events of the holiday season – our Woodland Walk & Bird Tree Decorating! This program will begin at 3pm with a guided nature walk through our Thomas P. Bentley Nature Preserve. After the walk\, we’ll gather to create bird feeder ornaments with pine cones\, peanut butter\, and seeds. Once you’ve created your ornament\, you’ll hang it our designated “bird” tree to provide food for local feathered friends throughout winter. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe welcome you to enjoy provided refreshments around a bonfire as we celebrate the official tree lighting at sunset (around 4:30pm). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you join us for the walk\, ornament making\, or both – we hope to see you there! This is a family-friendly event – all are welcome.
