The Spark Presents - Sponsored by the Dutchess Land Conservancy, the Oblong Land Conservancy, & Friends of the Great Swamp
Sunday, June 1, 2:00 PM at the Gardiner Theater, Trinity-Pawling School in Pawling
Join noted ecologist Tom Wessels for a fascinating interpretive presentation.
Tom Wessels returns to the Gardiner Theater at Trinity-Pawling School for a unique presentation where he will interpret photos sent in advance by the audience and the event's sponsors. Send a photo of anything you have encountered while in the woods that you find intriguing and would like to learn more about. This could be an unusually shaped tree, a tree with above-ground roots, unique stumps, stone wall construction, a diseased tree, pretty much anything that piques your curiosity. Send images to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and we will arrange to project them on the large screen.
Tom Wessels is a terrestrial ecologist and professor emeritus at Antioch University, where he founded the master's degree program in Conservation Biology. He is author of numerous books, including "Forest Forensics" and "The Myth of Progress". His most recent book is "New England's Roadside Ecology: Explore 30 of the Region's Unique Natural Areas". Tom will bring books to sell (and sign) after the event.
All are welcome and registration is not required, but will help us get an approximate head count in advance. This is a pay-what-you-wish event, but a suggested donation of $10 or more at the door will help us continue our programming.
This event is sponsored by the Dutchess Land Conservancy, the Oblong Land Conservancy, & Friends of the Great Swamp
