Hi Everyone,
We're hosting some interesting talks at Salisbury University this week. I pasted the press releases below. All are welcome.
Have fun,

Eastern Shore Forests
Dr. Joan Maloof, faculty member in the Biological Sciences Department, presents “Eastern Shore Forests: Past, Present and Future,” 7 p.m. Monday, November 7, in Henson Science Hall Room 103. During the presentation, she offers a synopsis of her research on how the Shore’s forests have been classified and shares the results of her studies on The Nature Conservancy’s Nassawango Preserve. Maloof is the author of Teaching the Trees: Lessons from the Forest and Among the Ancients: Adventures in the Eastern Old Growth Forests. She is working to develop an old-growth forest network, which will allow one forest in each county in the U.S. to remain unlogged and open to the public. Sponsored by SU’s Environmental Students Association and the Wicomico Environmental Trust, admission to her talk is free and the public is invited. Maloof will be available to sign books after the talk.
From Birds to Humankind
Author Katie Fallon traveled more than 2,000 miles from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia to the Andes Mountains of Colombia to chronicle the plight of the cerulean warbler. She speaks about what is causing the disappearance of the small blue bird – and how its fate is linked to that of humankind – during the talk “Coal, Coffee and Cooperation: Saving a Vanishing Songbird.” Her presentation is 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 8, in the Great Hall, Holloway Hall. Fallon is the author of Cerulean Blues: A Personal Search for a Vanishing Songbird. A favorite among birdwatchers, the cerulean is the fastest-declining warbler species in the United States, losing some 3 percent of its total population each year since 1966. Admission to her talk is free and the public is invited.
