Landscapes are dynamic ecosystems, and Connecticut’s landscape has changed through the centuries from almost completely forested in the 1600’s to cleared land by the mid-1800’s. Presently, the state is almost 60 percent forested. What has been the impact of these dramatic changes on Connecticut’s wildlife populations, who depend on the land for habitat?
With this presentation, Ginny Apple, Connecticut DEEP Master Wildlife Conservationist, will address that question, starting with a brief natural history of Connecticut. She will also discuss the current state of wildlife that has been impacted by these changing landscapes, including a discussion of major species, factors affecting their habitats, and some challenges we face in managing them. She will also provide suggestions for what people can do to make a difference. Several animal pelts and skulls will be on display.

A comedy!Foster is performing three shows in the area: Thursday, 4/16 in New London at the Hygienic, Friday in W. Hartford at the Elbow Room and Friday in New Haven at Lyric Hall. www.MostlyJokes.com
"Mostly Jokes" was named "Best Solo Show" at the Tucson Fringe Festival and has received reviews such as: "A laugh every twenty seconds." "I've never laughed so hard about mental health." "Subversively hilarious, laugh out loud gallows humor."
Foster is the former host of HGTV’s FreeStyle who turned to stand up to manage his depression and anxiety. He has performed at clubs all over the West Coast and has been touring this show for the past year. Some of his main influences are Mike Birbiglia, Maria Bamford, Gary Gulman, Marc Maron, Taylor Tomlinson and Neal Brennan. Do with that information what you will.

Kids just wanna have fun, but sometimes a big library can be overstimulating. We encourage parents in our community who have children on the autism spectrum or with sensory needs to come together every Monday in the Children’s Story Room for sensory play. While you’re here, enjoy getting to know other parents/caregivers and their little ones while playing and reading calmly. There will be a quick touch and feel story time about half way through the hour but the rest of the time is yours to enjoy and make new connections.This program is funded by the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism through an Autism Community Impact Grant.
