CHOCORUA â The Chocorua Lake Conservancy and the Cook Memorial Library will be presenting âOwls by Zoom,â a presentation on New Hampshire owls by Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus, on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. live via Zoom.
Eleven species of owls may be seen in New Hampshire. Some nest here, and others are winter visitors, or pass through in the short term. Depending on the species, they may employ different strategies for hunting, diet, habitat use, and nesting. In spite of that diversity, owls also share some common adaptations, unique to owls, that help them to survive.
Come explore what makes an owl an owl, what unique adaptations they have, and who might live in your backyard. Like many predators, owls fill an important predator role in forest and field habitats and there are a variety of things we can do to keep them safe and part of local wildlife communities.
Chocorua Lake Conservancy hosting climate change forum
January 21, 2021NORTH CONWAY As climate change impacts our ecosystems and our local communities, how can we work together to mitigate its effects, and to adapt to them?
On Wednesday, Feb. 3 from 6:30-8 p.m. via Zoom, the public is invited to participate in Recreating in a Changing Climate, a Sense of Place community forum. Decades of local weather data show clear trends of declining snowpack, warming winter air temperatures, increases in annual precipitation, and increases in large rain events. How are these warming climate trends, which are expected to continue, affecting outdoor recreation and the growing outdoor recreation economy in the Mount Washington Valley? Join this forum for a panel discussion about the science and local impacts of climate change, ways to mitigate these impacts, and what actions are being taken to reduce emissions. Panelists from the Appalachian Mountain Club, Clean Energy NH, Cranmore Mountain Re
