Dig into fall’s amazing display of seasonal transformations in this four part online series with the Massachusetts Audubon Society. Insects and spiders are laying their eggs to overwinter, wildflowers are dispersing their seeds for next spring, deciduous trees are bursting with color, and wildlife populations undergo impressive transitions while preparing for winter. Discover the unique features on display each month through the eyes of a naturalist, and then venture out to observe these phenomena close to home. Each online presentation will include optional field exercises you can try in your neighborhood, and a list of related in-person programs you can join to practice your skills.
