The 2019 Forestry Series is based around the theme of  "Changes in the Forests and Fields Around US - a deep dive into the phenology and ever-changing world of the Black River Watershed". Over the course of the summer we will explore the flora and fauna of our region and the seasonal changes they experience.

While the series has taken place monthly, 7:30pm on Tuesdays, this final talk in October will occur on a Thursday. All talks are hosted at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center Activity Center, are free and open to the public with refreshments served.

Jill Kilborn (New Hampshire Fish and Game Dept.) – Snowshoe hares change their fur color in the winter, but when does this happen and why? Come learn about interesting adaptions of the mammals of our northern forest, and what they are doing in late fall as the seasons change.
