Wildlands: The Cornerstone of Ecological Resilience
This program is the third of Kestrel’s 2024 “Conservation Action for Biodiversity” Online Speaker Series. Nature contains a marvelous and mysterious diversity of life, and humans understand just a small slice of our wonderfully interconnected worldwide web. Underpinning the work of conserving wildlands is the belief that all beings-from charismatic megafauna such as bears and bobcats, to inconspicuous microorganisms such as nematodes and slime molds-have a right not just to survive, but to thrive. Protecting wildlands helps shelter all parts of our natural system, safeguarding a home for the full spectrum of life.
Shelby Perry, Northeast Wilderness Trust (NEWT) Wildlands Ecology Director, leads us on a journey through the process of rewilding forests in the northeast, discusses the implications of wildlands protections for biodiversity, and introduces us to a few of the lesser known residents of these places.The term “wildland” refers to places unmanaged by humans, where nature can maintain autonomy across all the scales at which life exists. In the northeast, the result of allowing natural processes to play out over time is usually mature forests, which provide remarkable ecological resilience.
Shelby Perry holds a B.Sc. in Environmental Engineering from RPI, a M.Sc. in Plant Biology-Field Naturalist from UVM, and has a deep love and respect for wild places. As Wildlands Ecologist, she built NEWT’s ecology program focusing scientific research efforts on the ecology of the wild places that NEWT protects.

This program is the first of Kestrel Land Trust's 2024 “Conservation Action for Biodiversity” Online Speaker Series.

Reading the Forested Landscape with Tom Wessels: Part 2
มุมมอง 1422 หลายเดือนก่อน
This program is the second in our series with Tom Wessels, as we watch him interpret landscape photos of places he hasn't seen before as though we're taking a walk with him. Landscape is much more than scenery to be observed or terrain to be traveled. Imprinted into the land is the history of how we and other species have inhabited it. Few people can “read” that imprint better than Tom Wessels,...

This program is the second of Kestrel’s 2024 “Conservation Action for Biodiversity” Online Speaker Series. Streetlights and exterior lighting have become a necessity for daily life.

Whately Woods is Wild: Big Animals, Quiet Crossings
มุมมอง 39210 หลายเดือนก่อน
At Kestrel's Whately Center Woods, September 2023 brought a return of the big animals passing by the trail camera deep in the woods. Despite moving in groups, the family of three bears and several white-tailed deer bucks hardly make a sound as they make their way through the forest. Even the running bear doesn't make much noise! That could be due partly to the cushioning moss that grows in undi...
Kestrel Nest Box Project 2023 Season Summary
มุมมอง 306ปีที่แล้ว
It’s not easy being North America’s smallest falcon. You’re tiny enough to be eaten by larger raptors, and sometimes you find that buildings have replaced the grasslands that used to provide your food (prey). That's the situation for the American Kestrel as one of the most rapidly declining species in Massachusetts. We created our Kestrel Nest Box Project 11 years ago to help boost their chance...
Lucky Owl Release to Freedom on Mt Holyoke Range

Fortunately for this lucky owl, our staff and board includes expert bird handlers who swung into action and got the owl into the care of raptor rehabilitator Tom Ricardi. Tom helped the owl recover over several months, and released it back in its home territory at Kestrel's headquarter...
Wildlife in a Changing Climate: Secret Lives of Wild Bees

You’ve probably heard “Save The Bees!” but do you know which bees need saving? Over 4,000 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. PhD student and bee expert Nick Dorian will introduce you to the wild bees of New England: their varie...
