The second event in the Connecticut River Estuary Fall Lecture Series is titled ‘The Power of Successful Advocacy: Conserving the Connecticut River Estuary,’ and will be held this afternoon. It will comprise two separate talks.
The first will be by Kimberly Lutz, Director of The Nature Conservancy Connecticut River Program. She will discuss her team’s work to improve large dams to revive healthy flows and to restore flood plain forests that act as sponges along the river.
The second will be by Alan Poole, author of ‘Ospreys: A Natural and Unnatural History.‘ He will discuss the restoration and continued vitality of the Osprey population, including those in Connecticut River Estuary.
The event is set for 4:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 22, at Essex Meadows, 30 Bokum Road, Essex, CT, with a reception to follow. The lecture is free, but RSVPs are desirable.
