Coastal Lecture: Changing Natures Clocks – The Signature of Climate Change in MA
Have you noticed earlier blooms, or later fall foliage in recent years? As our environment changes, the seasonal timing of natural events is changing also. Join us for a lecture with Brandies Professor of Ecology Colleen Hitchcock, to learn about this seasonal timing, known as phenology, and how scientists study these shifts in timing to understand more about environmental trends. Scientists can’t collect all this data on their own, and participants will learn about the importance of crowdsourced data, and community science, in order to study these seasonal shifts from year to year.
About our Speaker:
Colleen Hitchcock is Professor of Ecology at Brandeis University in the Biology Department and chair of the Environmental Studies Program. She holds a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and a BS from Boston College. Hitchcock teaches courses in Conservation Biology, Ecology, Biology of Climate Change, and Participatory Science. Her academic interests focused on the role of participatory science in ecological inquiry and conservation biology specifically relating to studies of biodiversity, conservation, phenology, and climate change. She is interested in both the power of the public in scientific research and the application of participatory/citizen science research as a model for learning by students. She is one of the lead organizers for the annual City Nature Challenge in Boston which is a 4-day urban bioblitz which engages the public in science research.

eBird and ID training for the Salem Sound Bird Watch
Salem Sound Coastwatch and expert birders, Greg Power and Robert Buchsbaum, are offering a workshop designed to enhance your bird observation and data collection skills and introduce our new program, “Salem Sound Birdwatch.” This training is essential for anyone interested in volunteering to monitor wintering waterbirds for Salem Sound Coastwatch. You will be guided through the key features of the eBird mobile app, learn how to efficiently log sightings, and navigate the app’s functions. We will also cover an in-depth review of Salem Sound’s winter waterfowl and our long-term data (1988-2019). You will learn practical tips to identify common waterfowl and understand the differences in plumage. This new initiative aims to document an accurate count of migratory winter waterfowl within the Salem Sound, providing insight into the health of the Sound and various population trends.
Appleton Farms February Vacation Camp
In the winter, many people hunker down to stay indoors, but at Appleton Farms, we make the most of the cold, quiet season. There is no better place to spend winter farm days than in exploring in the snow and learning to love the outdoors in all seasons! This program is for kids who are looking to make friends, explore the forests and fields of the farm, and learn about life in New England in winter, including learning about a type of winter farming – maple sugaring! Every day will include an outdoor adventure of hiking, snowshoeing, or other farm explorations.
This is a school vacation drop-off program running Monday-Friday 9am-3pm, February 17-21. Campers should be prepared to spend days mostly outdoors and will need appropriate clothes including hats, gloves, and boots. We will have snack and lunch on the farm (families provide their own campers’ food). A parent handbook will be provided to all parents and registration requires submission of child’s health forms, per licensing requirements. This program is licensed by the Ipswich Board of Health.
