Today! Don’t miss this unforgettable and timely lecture and panel discussion happening this afternoon at 3:30, 320 York St, New Haven, CT.

A veritable plethora for #FaunaFriday . The trailcam caught the bobcat out at night, & Scott captured stills & videos of a squirrel & a variety of birds both on the LWL campus & across the street on the Cowles Parcel of the Farmington Land Trust. Spring is in the air!
