You’ve probably heard “Save The Bees!” but do you know which bees need saving? Over 4000 species of bees inhabit North America, and most don’t live in hives or make honey. These wild bees come in every size, shape, and color you can imagine, and they live all around us, hiding in plain sight. In this lecture, bee expert Nick Dorian will introduce you to the wild bees of New England. Together, we’ll examine their varied lifestyles, habitat needs, and intricate relationships they have with flowering plants and other insects. You’ll come away charmed by these tiny pollinators and with clear action items for how to support them in your backyard.

Nick Dorian is an ecologist, an educator, and a naturalist. He is a PhD student at Tufts University where he studies the population ecology of solitary bees and runs the Tufts Pollinator Initiative, an urban pollinator conservation and community outreach group.

Registration is required to attend this program.

The game of golf has a unique ability to both excite and relax players and fans simultaneously, offering inspiration, exercise of body and mind, and a healthy dose of escape from the stressors of everyday life.

Presented by Dan Breen, Senior Lecturer, Legal Studies, Brandeis University. By the fall of 1950, the United States and its allies seemed on the verge of victory in the Korean War. All that changed at the end of November, when the U.S. Eighth Army was suddenly struck by overwhelming numbers of Chinese infantry. In a week full of terrible struggle, perhaps the most dangerous episode occurred when the Second Infantry Division had to fight its way south from a place called Kunu-ri, through massed Chinese roadblocks and amidst temperatures that reached 30 below zero, to save itself. This is the story of that battle, which has entered history as the "Battle of the Gauntlet."

Once again, CLC is delighted to have Russ Cohen return for another walk to teach us about wild edible plants! Lexington is home to over 70 species of edible wild plants, both native and non-native, including plants considered to be weedy or invasive. Some are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts. Join Russ Cohen, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, on a two-hour ramble in and around Lincoln Park to learn about at least eighteen edible species. Russ will present information on identification tips, edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, as well as general guidelines for safe and environmentally-responsible foraging. Steady rain cancels. 

Leader: Russ Cohen ~ 781-646-7489, [email protected]
