SUMMARY:Homegrown National Park with Dr. Douglas W. Tallamy
DESCRIPTION:City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee presents… \nHomegrown National Park\nwith Dr. Douglas W. Tallamy\nPurchase Tickets\n\nA reception will be held prior to the talk\, with a book signing to follow. \nDoors open at 6:30PM\nThe talk will begin at 7:00 PM\nFree to the Public / Open Seating \n  \nAbout the Talk\nDr. Tallamy will introduce his visionary concept of “Homegrown National Park\,” a national movement to restore biodiversity by transforming our yards\, communities\, and surrounding lands. He explains why our current parks and preserves alone cannot sustain the ecosystems on which we depend. His practical approach invites everyone to participate in conservation by reducing lawn space\, planting native species\, and removing invasives. Dr. Tallamy’s goal is to restore 20 million acres with native plants—equivalent to half of America’s current lawn space—to create healthy ecological networks that can withstand environmental challenges. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Douglas W. Tallamy is a distinguished professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. A leading voice in conservation and sustainable gardening\, he is the author of several acclaimed books including the New York Times bestsellers “Bringing Nature Home\,” “The Living Landscape\,” and “Nature’s Best Hope.” Dr. Tallamy founded the Homegrown National Park initiative to promote native plant propagation and biodiversity restoration. His research demonstrates how native plants support local wildlife—his own backyard oak tree hosts over 240 species of caterpillars. Dr. Tallamy combines scientific expertise with engaging\, accessible presentations that inspire audiences to take practical action for environmental conservation. \n  \n  \n  \nHomegrown National Park \n  \nThis screening is made possible through funding from the City of Newburyport Resiliency Committee\, via a grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Program.

SUMMARY:Arctic Adventure - Winter Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Lowell’s Boat Shop Presents… \nArctic Adventure\n$15 / Non-Members \n$8 / Lowell’s Boat Shop Members \nPurchase Tickets\n\nSchooner Bowdoin and her crew\, Amesbury’s own Graham McKay among them\, were assigned the hopeful goal to take students to the Arctic Circle by June 20\, 2024 with planned stops in places such as Newfoundland and Greenland. Graham had a camera and drone on hand\, and brought back stories of cold and tricky passages to remote villages\, 24-hour daylight\, and the challenges of navigating iceberg-laden water on an historic boat built specifically for the task. Did they make it to the arctic circle in time?  \nGraham McKay is the Executive Director of Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury\, Massachusetts\, where he is also their master boatbuilder. His experience on the water includes captaining tall ships\, commercial fishing\, and maritime archaeology. He’s a fun storyteller who knows how to spin a yarn\, and he’s excited to share his beautiful video and photography he captured while crewing to the Arctic on such a beloved and historic boat.  \nFounded in 1793\, Lowell’s Boat Shop is more than the birthplace of the iconic fishing dory—we are a living connection to our past and a safe harbor where curious minds and intrepid adventurers connect with each other and our collective history through woodworking classes\, apprenticeships\, youth programs\, rowing our fleet of boats on the Merrimack River\, and fun social events throughout the year. \nLowell’s Boat Shop \nPurchase Tickets\n\n  \n
