Turning Stones: Discovering the Life of Water

Lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and even rain gutters teem with life you can easily observe. With an investment of less than $20 you can see many more of our fellow travelers. Declan McCabe, an aquatic ecologist and professor of biology at Saint Michael’s College, discusses and shares photographs of the stunning and fascinating organisms found in Vermont’s waterways.

Vermont’s analog to the rising sea waters described in The Light Pirate has been increased rainfall due to the additional moisture in the atmosphere. Declan’s book includes discussion of a tipping point in the mid 1990s resulting in more intense storms, particularly in fall. The talk will include strategies to minimize stormwater impacts and ways to live with the expectation of additional flooding.
