Cute and cuddly, or invasive pests? Actually Squirrels and Chipmunks play an important role shaping our ecosystem's plant populations. By burying their main source of nutrients - seeds - throughout the environment, they effectively influence the number and distribution of different plant species. But they also are drawn to human resources like bird feeders and create unwanted nests around our homes.
Our next free webinar with Bloomfield Parks, Recreation & Leisure Services will look at the balance of their lives and overall effect on nature and humans, including time for your questions. You may participate on any device with a web browser and email access. A link to login will be emailed when you register.

Our presenter will be Ginny Apple, a State-certified Master Wildlife Conservationist inspired by a life filled with bears and other wildlife around her home within Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted. Previously she was one of the first full-time women sportswriters in the country, and hiked, climbed, kayaked, skied, and poked her way through the outdoors developing a passion for all things natural.
