#SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.

"#Jews are often thought of as #urban, #bookish folks who don’t venture out into the wild. But there have been plenty of Jews who break that mold — #AbrahamCahan, founder of the Forward, was himself a #birder. In To Life: Jews Exploring #Nature, #author #JoelGreenberg, with #JudithWinston, a #research associate at the #Smithsonian Marine Station in #Florida, tells the life stories of a group of #Jewish #researchers, #naturalists and #environmentalists. I spoke with #Greenberg, a research associate of the #FieldMuseum and the #Chicago Academy of Sciences Peggy Notebaert #Nature #Museum, book author and avid birder who lives in #Westmont, #IL, about the accomplished and often adventurous lives of the #scientists he profiled. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity."

Copaines naturalistes : en français on "détermine" l'espèce d'un individu.
J'ai l'impression que l'anglais préfère "identify" (souvent même "ID").
Voyez-vous une différence ? D'autres termes sont-ils utilisés ?

I'm in Burlington, Vermont for the 2026 Northeast Natural History Conference 2026. Say HI if you're also here!

Took a short walk through Centennial Woods this morning, walking distance from the hotel, as a tech rehearsal for this afternoon's field trip to Russell Farms.
