Winter tree walk with DCR forester James Rassman will be held on February 5 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. James will be leading our adult group on a walk to identify some of our trees in winter. We’ll be using bark, branching patterns and other methods to learn about how our trees look and survive through the winter months. We’ll be meeting at the museum but please dress for a walk in Holmes Woods. We will meet at the Marion Natural History Museum, 8 Spring Street, Marion, MA. Please RSVP on the museum’s website: www.marionmuseum.org.
Birds of Panama: The Amazing Birds that Bridge the Americas held on February 28 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. Throughout history, Panama has functioned as a land bridge connecting North and South America, facilitating the movement of diverse animal and bird species. It is also a central feature of bird migration because of its unique location and shape, which creates a funnel-like effect on bird migration. Take a break from the winter blues and discover some of Panama’s remarkable wildlife, including vibrant toucans, majestic hawks, slow moving sloths, and playful monkeys. The program will be given by Justin Barrett of the Manomet Bird Observatory. We will be meeting at the Marion Natural History Museum, 8 Spring Street, Marion, MA. Please RSVP on the Museum’s website: www.marionmuseum.org.
