[BNS_members] Monthly Meeting on Monday: Vernal Pools in Nova Scotia! - Join us in-person or online

[Caroline Beddoe]

Good day,

   A reminder of our upcoming monthly meeting on Monday March 20th: 
"Flowing Under the LIDAR: The Challenge of Conserving Nova Scotia's 
Smallest Wetlands"

Join us for the monthly meeting of the Blomidon Naturalists Society, 
which will be held on Monday March 20th at 7:30 pm in-person in 
Wolfville at the Wolfville Curling Club (upstairs) and online on Zoom.

Wetlands biologist John Brazner will join us to give a talk about vernal 
pools in Nova Scotia. He will provide a bit of background about what 
vernal pools are, their ecology, a bit about important ecosystem 
services they provide including what critters live there, what we know 
about their distribution in Nova Scotia, why they are hard to map, what 
research and monitoring is currently going on and some ideas on how we 
might do a better job of protecting them.

At 7:30 pm meeting commences, with introductions and updates followed by 
the presentation. 7:00 pm open social for those in-person prior to the 
talk. In-person upstairs at the Wolfville Curling Club (22 Elm Ave) or 
online on Zoom (registration here:

With big thanks to Board members Alan, Sarah, John & Carolyn hosting 
this meeting as Soren and myself are away.

Warmly,

Caroline
