SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crab Community Science Program – Project Limulus
DESCRIPTION:Select morning and evenings during the May\, June & July full and new moon high tides \nAges 12+ (Registration required) \nJoin us for our 20th year participating in Project Limulus\, a scientific survey tracking horseshoe crab populations. Volunteers will walk two miles along the Napatree Point Conservation Area during the May and June full and new moon high tides—prime spawning time for these ancient creatures. The survey takes 1-4 hours\, depending on horseshoe crab activity (anywhere from zero to a thousand crabs might be encountered). While all are welcome to participate in this important conservation effort\, participants should be prepared for the physical demands of the survey. Experience these “living fossils” up close while contributing valuable data to this long-term research program. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:A Lifeline of Liberty: Local Privateering 1775–1777 with Jack Spratt
DESCRIPTION:Join Captain Jack Spratt as he commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a compelling story of the Revolutionary War along our shores. In 1775 and 1777\, continental privateers—the “maritime militia”—sailed from our waters\, driven by both patriotism and the promise of profit. By capturing British merchant ships\, they kept the “Struggle for American Liberty” fed and armed at its most desperate hour while drastically disrupting British commerce throughout the Atlantic Basin. \nBritish warships chased\, engaged\, and seized American privateers off Watch Hill\, treating them as pirates and sending many to the notorious prison ships anchored in New York Harbor at Wallabout Bay\, where the infamous HMS Jersey became a symbol of suffering and sacrifice. Stonington and Fishers Island endured British foraging raids\, while Gardiners Island\, firmly Loyalist along with much of Long Island\, stood with the Crown\, creating a stark divide across the Sound. \nThis is a story of how ordinary sailors and their neighbors\, in what was truly our country’s first civil war\, helped win the struggle for independence. As part of the program\, Captain Jack will also share recommended local Revolutionary War sites to explore during this remarkable milestone of democracy. \nThe event is free and open to the public.  \nPresented by The Westerly Historical Society\, with support from The Watch Hill Conservancy and Grey Sail Brewing. \n

SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crab Community Science Program – Project Limulus
DESCRIPTION:Select morning and evenings during the May\, June & July full and new moon high tides \nAges 12+ (Registration required) \nJoin us for our 20th year participating in Project Limulus\, a scientific survey tracking horseshoe crab populations. Volunteers will walk two miles along the Napatree Point Conservation Area during the May and June full and new moon high tides—prime spawning time for these ancient creatures. The survey takes 1-4 hours\, depending on horseshoe crab activity (anywhere from zero to a thousand crabs might be encountered). While all are welcome to participate in this important conservation effort\, participants should be prepared for the physical demands of the survey. Experience these “living fossils” up close while contributing valuable data to this long-term research program. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:Lanphear LIVE! Presents: Norman Smith\, The Snowy Owls of Logan Airport
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Norman Smith\, Raptor Specialist \nSnowy Owl Project\, Mass Audubon\, Lincoln\, MA \nSince 1981\, raptor specialist Norman Smith has spent countless days and nights\, in every imaginable weather condition\, observing\, capturing\, banding\, and relocating Snowy Owls from Logan International Airport. Affectionately called “the Owl Man of Logan Airport\,” Smith has single-handedly relocated more than 900 of these magnificent birds\, gathering valuable data on their roosting patterns\, hunting behavior\, and seasonal movements. Enjoy a screening of this award-winning documentary short about his work\, followed by a live presentation and Q&A with Norman to find out what he has learned\, what questions remain and how this project expanded to include studies of Northern Saw-whet Owl populations.
