SUMMARY:2025 WaterWatch Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for Our 2025 WaterWatch Lecture Series!\nZoom Presentations & 2 Live Events\nWednesdays\, January 15 – March 5\, 2025\n7:00pm \nJoin the NSRWA and Mass Audubon for this winter’s eight-part educational 2025 WaterWatch Lecture Series. Stay engaged with nature this winter with weekly presentations by a diverse range of presenters and themes. Each lecture is on Wednesday evening from 7-8pm with a few minutes at the end for Q&A. The program begins on January 15 and ends on March 5. \nAll lectures will be available on Zoom for FREE. However\, the first and last lectures can also be attended in person! Separate registration pages are available for those events. You will also find the separate links for the two in-person registrations in the lecture description. Each lecture will be recorded with videos at the bottom of this page. \nRegister for the 2025 WATERWATCH LECTURE SERIES (FREE) \nGet tickets for TRIVIA NIGHT AT STELLWAGEN BEER COMPANY (FREE) \n2025 PRESENTATION SCHEDULE\n \nJanuary 15: Problem to Plate – Green Crabs – Join us for our kick off lecture on Zoom to learn about Green Crabs. Invasive species like Green Crabs pose a problem to our coastal ecosystems and fisheries. Find out more about these tasty crustraceans and how people are solving this problem by eating them! Scientists and food professionals will share their research and stories. Presenters include: Dr. Gabriela Bradt\, Extension State Specialist at NH Sea Grant; Kelsey Meyer\, UNH PhD Candidate in Marine Biology; and Mary Parks\, GreenCrab.org Executive Director; and Sharon St. Ours of St. Ours Clam Broth. Hosted and food prepared by Joby Norton of Mullaney’s Harborside in Scituate. The live event is sold out\, but you can still register to watch on Zoom. SEE VIDEO BELOW \nJanuary 22: Rainbows on the Wing: Dragonflies and Damselflies – Swooping\, soaring\, and perching\, dragonflies have been on our planet for an estimated 250 million years\, ancient rulers are their tiny realms. An estimated 160 species of animals within Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) can be found in Massachusetts. Blake Dinius\, Entomologist Extension Educator of Plymouth County\, will discuss the ecology of dragonflies: their adaptations\, needs\, and obstacles. Join our adventure! SEE VIDEO BELOW \nJanuary 29: A History of the Indian Head River – NSRWA’s Kezia Bacon will present an overview of the Indian Head River’s history\, beginning in pre-Colonial times\, and extending into the 21st century. Topics will include early settlers on the river; bridges\, mills and factories; tributaries and fisheries; the Indian Head’s many tributaries; and issues concerning the river today. SEE VIDEO BELOW \nFebruary 5: The Blue Line Method: How to Catch (and Release) Wild Trout – Vincent Battista\, epidemiologist\, conservationist\, and the interim president of South Shore Fly Casters\, will teach us all about brook trout. Brook trout (S. fontinalis) are a cherished native game fish that has responded brilliantly to local conservation efforts. In Southern New England\, there is a long tradition of targeting wild brookies in small creeks and streams where conventional angling methods are neither efficient (e.g. dry flies) nor particularly sustainable (e.g. live bait). This talk will review methods for safely targeting\, catching\, and releasing wild brook trout in our local “hidden gem” streams. SEE VIDEO BELOW \nFebruary 12: Taking Environmental Action – Lucy Gertz\, Mass Audubon’s Director of Adult Education and Accessible Programs\, will introduce ways to understand people’s pathways to environmentalism\, how to build people’s competence and confidence for environmental action\, and how individuals can be effective\, positive game changers in their communities and beyond. She’ll discuss motivation and influences\, skills development\, empowerment\, and the celebration of effective conservation work done well. SEE VIDEO BELOW \nFebruary 19: Marine Mammals on the South Shore: Whale and Dolphin Conservation’s Marine Animal Rescue and Response Team – Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation of whales and dolphins. They use education\, policy\, and science to further their vision of a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free. Their Marine Animal Rescue and Response (MARR) team acts as first responders for stranded marine mammals (seals\, whales\, and dolphins) from Plymouth to Weymouth. Join us to learn more about WDC\, marine mammals on the South Shore\, and what to do if you see a stranded marine mammal. SEE VIDEO BELOW \nFebruary 26: Protecting Our Coastal Waterbirds – For almost four decades\, Mass Audubon’s Coastal Waterbird Program has played a key role in the protection and management of the most threatened coastal waterbird species in our state. The program monitors and protects more than a third of the state’s breeding Piping Plovers\, approximately half of our state’s Least Terns\, and about a third of its American Oystercatchers. Community Science and Coastal Resilience Manager\, Gina Purtell\, will share the recent updates of this important effort. SEE VIDEO BELOW \nMarch 5: WaterWatch Series Trivia Night at Stellwagen Beer Company – Join us at Stellwagen Beer Company in Marshfield for a fun night of celebration and trivia. Share your knowledge of general watershed facts\, natural history and environmental topics\, and have a beer! We’ll highlight a bit of content covered throughout the 2025 WaterWatch Lecture Series. You needn’t consider yourself an expert! Tickets for this FREE event can be found online. \nProblem to Plate – Green Crabs \n \nRainbows on the Wing: Dragonflies and Damselflies \n \nA History of the Indian Head River \n \nThe Blue Line Method: How to Catch (and Release) Wild Trout \n \nTaking Environmental Action \n \nMarine Mammals on the South Shore: Whale and Dolphin Conservation’s Marine Animal Rescue and Response Team \n \nProtecting Our Coastal Waterbirds

SUMMARY:NSRWA Walking Club - Crosbie Family Preserve in Scituate
DESCRIPTION:NSRWA Walking Club – Crosbie Family Preserve in Scituate\nSaturday\, March 8\n10:00-11:30am \nPlease join returning Walking Club Guest Host Deb Lenehan\, on March 8th from 10-11:30 am\, as we explore the Crosbie Family Preserve in Scituate. Deb is a nature enthusiast\, environmentalist\, and former Executive Director of the NSRWA. She brings her enthusiasm and passion to each of the walks she leads. \nThe Crosbie Family Preserve and Appleton Field are adjacent properties with several intersecting loop trails through 49 acres of fields\, woodlands and wetlands\, with numerous stone walls. The preserve is situated on a glacial drumlin. Appleton Field stands at its center\, and South Swamp wraps around it. \nThe Orange Trail features mixed pine and hardwood forests\, plus wetlands. In the outlying swamp areas\, look for moss-covered rocks and boulders. Trees present here include black oak\, holly\, white pine\, red maple\, and American beech\, plus an occasional hemlock\, tupelo\, and Atlantic white cedar. Don’t miss the unusual and somewhat rare Atlantic white cedar at the edge of the swamp along the Orange Trail (noted by a white trail marker). \nSouth Swamp forms the headwaters of three sub-watersheds. To the northwest is Aaron Brook\, which flows into Bound Brook. Merritt Brook\, a tributary to Bound Brook\, emanates from the northeast corner of South Swamp and flows through the Higgins-MacAllister Preserve\, parallel to Booth Hill Road. First Herring Brook flows south out of South Swamp\, crosses First Parish Road\, and through the former Damon Pond; then through Tack Factory Pond to form Herring River in the North River Estuary. \nWhile we love dogs\, NSRWA’s walks are dog-free in consideration for all participants. Please leave your pooches at home. \nClick here for Directions \nClick here for a Trail Map \nParking can be found at the access road just east of 253 Clapp Road. Look for our signs! \nLooking Ahead: The Walking Club is looking for guest hosts. If you would like to lead a walk on a local trail that you love\, please email Volunteer Coordinator Theresa Delahunt at volunteercoordinator@nsrwa.org or visit our website. \nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Gardening Green Expo 2025
DESCRIPTION:Gardening Green Expo 2025 will be a hybrid event this year\, and it is scheduled for March 10-15. We will be doing live Zoom presentations during the week at 7:00pm\, and will have a live event at Kennedy’s Country Gardens on Saturday\, March 15 from 10am-2pm. Doug Tallamy will be doing a Zoom presentation on Wednesday\, March 12. \nOur theme this year is: Making a Difference in Your Own Backyard\nYou can make your backyard a haven for wildlife and a comforting oasis for you. A yard with native plants provides a natural habitat for local wildlife\, including birds\, butterflies\, and bees\, by offering food sources like nectar and seeds\, while also requiring less water and maintenance due to their adaptation to local climate and soil conditions. At Gardening Green Expo you will learn about: \n\nPlanting more heat- and drought-tolerant native plants\nHow to convert lawn into gardens\nManaging invasive species\nPollinator friendly plants\nAnd more!\n\nOur featured presenter is renowned author Doug Tallamy. With Bringing Nature Home\, Tallamy changed the conversation about gardening in America. His second book\, the New York Times bestseller Nature’s Best Hope\, urged homeowners to take conservation into their own hands. This year he will be presenting a talk from his upcoming book\, How Can I Help? Saving Nature with Your Yard. \nTallamy says\, “Nearly every day I get emails from people who have read my books and heard my talks and yet still have questions about ecological landscaping. These are good\, thoughtful questions about ecology and evolution\, biodiversity\, invasive species\, insect declines\, native and non-native plants\, conservation and restoration\, residential and city landscapes\, urban issues\, oak biology\, keystone plants\, Homegrown National Park\, monarchs\, supporting wildlife at home\, and more. In this talk I address as many of these queries as I can with hope that my answers will further motivate people to help restore ecosystem function where they live\, work\, play\, worship\, and farm.” \nZoom Presentations at 7:00pm\n\nMonday\, March 10 – Planting for the Future: The MA Native Plant Palette – Jason Duff & Anne Carroll\, DCR Office of Water Resources – SEE VIDEO BELOW\nTuesday\, March 11 – Less Lawn\, More Plants! – Rebecca Warner\, Author of The Sustainable-Enough Garden – SEE VIDEO BELOW\nWednesday\, March 12 – How Can I Help?

SUMMARY:Marsh Madness\, King Tides and South River Exploration Walk
DESCRIPTION:Marsh Madness\, Wicked High Tide and South River Exploration Walk\nRexhame Beach\nSaturday\, March 29\n10:00-11:30am \nJoin the NSRWA in a guided walk around the salt marshes and shores of the South River during a spring high tide or as we like to say in Boston a “wicked high tide.” \nSalt marshes are critically important wetlands found along our estuaries and coastal communities and ecosystems. Salt marshes\, along with dunes and barrier beaches\, work together and form our best defense against coastal storms and flooding\, as well as provide a key habitat for local wildlife.  The spring tide\, king tide or wicked high tide on that weekend will give us a preview into how sea level rise will impact these systems in the coming years. \nLearn about these important\, unique\, and often overlooked places along our rivers and coasts. Discover their history\, how have they changed over time\, and hear how they helped shape our communities. We will discuss ways we can help salt marshes and surrounding habitats continue to function as a critical part of our coastal ecosystems and how sea level rise is and will continue to impact them and us. \nThis event is free\, however\, registration is required. Families welcome\, no dogs please. \nREGISTER HERE \n
