Film Screening: What are the Bees Telling Us?, Fri April 5th, South Salem

Environmental Film Series:
“Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us?”

The Lewisboro Library's series of environmental themed films with discussions continues. "Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?" is a profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis from Taggart Siegel. Taking us on a journey through the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive, this engaging and ultimately uplifting film weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the heartfelt struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world. Together they reveal both the problems and the solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature.

Lecture: Woodland Wildflower Restoration, Wednesday, March 13th, Katonah

Lecture: Woodland Wildflower Restoration with Jessica Arcate Schuler

Join the Bedford Audubon Society for the first in a free three-part series on Westchester Wildflower Conservation, co-sponsored by Bedford Audubon, Mianus River Gorge, Pound Ridge Land Conservancy, & Westchester Land Trust.

Jessica A. Schuler, Director of the Thain Family Forest at The New York Botanical Garden, will describe how NYBG is using historical collections and modern field surveys to identify and restore extirpated, or locally extinct, native flora in the 50-acre old-growth urban forest. While the exact causes of extirpation are unknown, overcollecting, soil compaction, pollution, invasive species, and climate change are suspected culprits in the disappearance of many native species, including wildflowers.

Wednesday, March 13th   

Refreshments served at 7pm, lecture begins at 7:30pm 

Katonah Village Library, 26 Bedford Road, Katonah

All events are free, but please pre-register with Evelyn@westchesterlandtrust.org or call 914.234.6992 ext. 24.  For more information visit: www.WestchesterLandTrust.org/wildflowers
