SUMMARY:Sky Dance of the American Woodcock
DESCRIPTION:When the sun sets in early spring\, woodcock love is in the air. Wet meadows and fields are transformed into a “runway” for their beautiful aerial courtship display. Visit Mass Audubon’s meadows to listen and watch for the woodcock’s performance on their breeding grounds. Viewing the woodcock’s sky dance is a natural spectacle that should not be missed. \nRegistration is required to join this outing. It cost $7 for members and $10 for nonmembers. There are four different opportunities for you to view the woodcock’s sky dance: \nLime Kiln Wildlife Sanctuary in Sheffield\, MA\nWednesday\, March 16 @ 7  – 8 PM (Register here)\nFriday\, March 18 @ 7 – 8 PM (Register here) \nHousatonic Wildlife Management Area in Lenox\, MA\nWednesday\, March 23 @ 7 – 8 PM (Register here) \nCanoe Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary in Pittsfield\nFriday\, March 25 @ 7 – 8 PM (Register here)

SUMMARY:Berkshire Grown Great Barrington Winter Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, March 19 & April 16 @ 10:00 AM — 2:00 PM \nLocation: Housy Dome (aka Housatonic Community Center)\, 1064 Main Street\, Housatonic \nBerkshire Grown’s Winter Famers Markets will feature the abundance of locally grown and produced foods found in the Berkshires. The offerings of local producers range from winter squash\, greens\, and root crops\, to apples\, meats\, cheeses\, honey\, and maple syrup\, as well as baked goods\, jams\, ferments\, and cider at most markets. \nWith your safety in mind first\, we strongly encourage pre-ordering through What’s Good and pick-up “curbside” by the exit door.

SUMMARY:Hornwort Biology and Systematics
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, February 19 & 26\, March 5\, 12\, & 19 @ 1:00 — 3:00 p.m. \nInstructor: Juan Carlos Villarreal Aguilar\nTuition Cost: $175 \nHornworts represent the smallest phylum among land plants\, with only 220 species. Despite the reduced species number\, they have a fascinating biology and hold clues on the evolution of symbiotic interactions and chloroplast evolution. Most of the diversity of hornworts is found in tropical and subtemperate areas from the Americas and Asia (especially India and China). Despite the evolutionary and\, recently\, genomic importance of the group\, the taxonomy remains challenging and little known. \nThis seminar will provide an introduction to the diversity of hornworts\, with focus on the American continents (from Canada to Patagonia) and Europe. We will first identify study the morphology and anatomy of hornworts and discuss last decade studies on morphology\, phylogenetics\, symbiosis\, systematics\, and genomics. Then\, we will focus on the regions of interest\, giving special attention to genera and species present. The participant will be guided through the taxonomical literature available for regional taxa\, and the morphological particularities when using the few available keys. To dive into the hornworts\, we will explore their great variety\, exploring their most common species in different substrates and ecosystems\, including páramos\, montane\, premontane rain forest\, and lowland tropical rain forest. This seminar will use zoom for interactive lectures by way of power point presentations. The seminar will provide a deep knowledge of this fascinating group of plants and discover why they have become important and popular in the field of evolutionary biology! \n• Participants need to have a Zoom account (https://zoom.us ; sign-up is free). They will receive a secure link to join the seminar before it begins. \n• Individual classes will be recorded and made available to stream (not download) for the duration of the seminar by its participants\, so they are able to review them or make up missed ones. \nRegister Here.
