Fall 2005 Lecture Living with Wildlife in Newton Colleen Olfenbuttel Tuesday, November 15, 7pm
The lecture will include slides and materials related to wildlife species living in Newton backyards, neighborhoods and open spaces. The proximity of such wildlife sometimes leads to unexpected conflict. Learn about their habits and ways to live with your wild neighbors. Also provided will be some natural history information and hints about how to keep wild things and people at a respectful distance. Free fact sheets and other wildlife-related materials will be available. Colleen Olfenbuttel joined the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) in September 2005 as a wildlife biologist and furbearer project leader. She has her undergraduate degree in wildlife biology from Ohio University, and her Master's degree in wildlife science from Virginia Tech, where she studied black bears in southwestern Virginia for 6 years. Besides black bears, she has performed research on brown bears in Alaska, island foxes in California, white-tailed deer in Minnesota, raptors in Michigan, and wolves in Montana and Wyoming. If you missed the lecture, you still have a chance to see it as an upcoming episode of the Environmental Show, produced by the Newton Conservators. It was taped and will be edited and shown on NewTV in one of the programs co-produced with the Green Decade Coalition. Look for program notices on NewTV and in upcoming Conservators newsletters.
