It’s impossible to absorb all the vast Genesee Valley’s unique ecology, American history, and lore, even in a lifetime as a local.
At the Humphrey Nature Center on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in July and August, Letchworth State Park invites experts to break down the significance of the Genesee River, its ecosystems, its people, and the park in free, interactive lectures.
The lecture schedule is:
•July 26 – Environmental Stewardship in the Genesee Valley by Claudia Rosen
•August 2 – Crayfish of Concern by Theo Berenson
•August 9 – Conservation History of the American Beaver by Craig Thompson
•August 16 – Conservation and Detection of Old Growth Woods by Erik Danielsen
•August 23 – Sara Jane McBride: Pioneering Entomologist and Fly-Tyer by Holly Watson.
Each presentation is 90 minutes long, which includes a question-and-answer period. All of the experts will be available at the end of their lectures to answer questions about their topics.
