Botanical artist and NESBA member Kay Kopper received a grant from the American Society of Botanical Artists to paint plants and wildlife native to Southeastern Massachusetts, which has the second largest region of pine barrens remaining in the world. It is a habitat for pitch pine (Pinus rigida), scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia), cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia), New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis), and American woodcock (Scolopax minor), among other species. Kay will describe what an adventure and learning experience this project has been for her in a lecture on Wednesday, October 25, beginning at 1:30 pm at the Wellesley College Botanic Garden. Co-sponsored with the New England Society of Botanical Artists. Sponsor members free, nonmembers $10. Reserve by calling 781-283-3094 or emailing wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
