Tuesday, June 11, 6:30 pm – Sonic Sea Screening and Conversation

by

Join WBUR on June 11 at 6:30 pm at WBUR CitySpace, 890 Commonwealth Avenue, for a screening of the award-winning documentary Sonic Sea, followed by a conversation with Dr. Leila Hatch, Marine Ecologist, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, NOAA and Barbara Moran, WBUR Senior Producing Editor, Environment.  Sonic Sea, narrated by Rachel McAdams, is about protecting life in our waters from the destructive effects of oceanic noise pollution.

Hatch is a marine ecologist with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary at the mouth of Massachusetts Bay and featured in the film. This area has experienced dramatic increases in shipping and she studies how low frequency noise emitted by large ships and other vessels impacts marine mammals who also rely on low frequency signals for communication, foraging, navigating and caring for their young.

Ticket price is $10 and may be purchased online at www.wbur.org.

Saturday, June 15, 10:00 am – 12:15 pm, and Wednesday, June 19, 5:30 pm – 7:45 pm – The Diversity and Ecological Value of Native Shrubs

by

This Grow Native Massachusetts workshop at Stony Brook Reservation in Hyde Park on either June 15 or June 19 will be conducted entirely in the field. Enrollment at each session is limited to 15.

June is the peak time for some of our loveliest flowering shrubs, many of which also have tremendous value as host plants for the larvae of moths and butterflies.  Join Meredith to learn about the diverse mix of native shrub species found in Stony Brook Reservation, the largest green space in the city of Boston and a hidden gem for plant lovers. This program will cover the basics of woody plant identification, and highlight underutilized species that have tremendous potential for use in challenging landscape settings. $28 for Grow Native Massachusetts members, $38 for nonmembers.

Meredith Gallogly is the Manager of Programs at Grow Native Massachusetts. She is a skilled botanist, and much of her plant identification knowledge comes from her explorations of metro-Boston area parks and reservations. She holds a B.A. in Biology from Smith College.
