Join us for the return of the Nature Lecture Series! These free, informational webinars are a great way to learn about wildlife in our community. Enjoy 60-minute live talks including a Question-and-Answer segment.

Our first webinar will present what you always wanted to know about raccoons, opossums, skunks, and porcupines. Often overlooked and misunderstood, these unique and fascinating animals have spectacular characteristics and adaptations for life in their environments. Come learn about these captivating critters that wander among nature – and our neighborhoods – with courage and tenacity.

Our presenter will be Ginny Apple, a State-certified Master Wildlife Conservationist inspired by a life filled with bears and other wildlife around her home within Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted. Previously she was one of the first full-time women sportswriters in the country, and hiked, climbed, kayaked, skied, and poked her way through the outdoors developing a passion for all things natural.

The Nature Lecture Series is co-sponsored with Bloomfield Parks, Recreation & Leisure Services, who will host the webinar. You may participate on any device with a web browser and email access. A link to login will be sent to your email when you register online.
