Blue Hill, Maine - Blue Hill Heritage Trust and Downeast Audubon present their third annual spring lecture series “Who Is in the Landscape” beginning on April 14. All lectures will be held in the Howard Room of the Blue Hill Public Library with a reception from 6:30-7 p.m. and presentation and Q&A from 7–8 p.m.

On Monday, April 14, Dr. Darren J. Ranco will present a talk with Jennifer Neptune on “The Emerald Ash Borer and Wabanaki Basketmakers: Building Resilience and Sustainability while Preparing for an Invasive Species.”

Susan Gallo, Maine Audubon wildlife biologist and director of the Maine Loon Project, will give a talk Thursday, April 17 on “The State of Maine’s Common Loons.” Have you ever wondered what goes on in the life of a Maine loon? Where do they go in winter? How long do they live? Why do they make those haunting calls at night? This presentation answers these questions and many more, not just about the life of loons in Maine throughout the year, but also about the threats they face and conservation actions we can all take to help ensure loons thrive on our lakes and ponds. Susan will have lead-free tackle to exchange for lead tackle
you bring in, so clean out your tackle boxes (and tell your neighbors!) and see the exciting loon-friendly alternatives.

The series concludes on Monday, April 21 with “Wild Bees and Tame Bees--But Are They Healthy Bees? ” by Dr. Frank Drummond of the University of Maine.  His presentation and areas of expertise focus on native bee conservation; pollination ecology of low bush blueberry, cranberry, strawberry and squash; foraging behavior of bumble bees and sand bees; and pesticide exposure to honey bees. Recently, Dr. Drummond has directed a national project investigating the causes of colony collapse disorder in honeybees, as well as his long-term USDA-funded research project on pollination ecology.

This lecture series is free and open to the public.  For more information, visit their website at bluehillheritagetrust.org, or contact BHHT’s office at 374-5118 or info@bluehillheritagetrust.org.

A nationally accredited, member-supported local nonprofit, Blue Hill Heritage Trust has worked with landowners to conserve over 6,600 acres on the Blue Hill Peninsula since 1985.
