Ecological Change Since Audubon Discussed June 18

On June 18, local biologists will be discussing the past, present and future impact of ecological changes on habitats at the Currier Museum of Art located at 150 Ash St. in Manchester, according to a press statement.

The program begins at 6:30 p.m. From Birds to Beast: Audubon’s Last Great Adventure, an exhibit featuring John James Audubon’s - prints of mammals and wildlife, will be open to event guests prior to the panel discussion.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Currier Museum of Art and to provide the public with an opportunity to learn and discuss the impacts of ecology on habitat,” said Ruth Smith, major gifts and community engagement manager at NH Audubon. “Protecting wildlife and the natural environment is at the heart of what we do and we look forward to sharing the changes that have occurred since John James Audubon’s time (the early 1800’s) through the present.”

The panel is made up of Andrew Saphr, Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Currier Museum of Art; Carol R. Foss, Senior Advisor for Science and Policy, New Hampshire Audubon; John Lanier, retired biologist with White Mountain National Forest, US Forest Service Fish & Game; and Eric Orff, retired biologist with NH Fish & Game and wildlife specialist with National Wildlife Federation.

Tickets for the event are $5 for Currier and Audubon members and $10 for nonmembers. Pre-registration is appreciated. Visiting the galleries also requires a general admission.
