Nature Moncton Monthly Meeting

On Tuesday June 15 , Matthew Smith from Fundy National Park will be with us to offer a talk on our forests as seen through the eyes of the northern flying squirrel. 
He titles his presentation : "A Balanced Approach"


How will the new provincial forestry plan affect wildlife in New Brunswick? 
Matthew Smith is a PhD student from the University of New Brunswick, who has studied the northern flying squirrel in southern New Brunswick for the past five years. He was coordinator of the Greater Fundy Ecosystem Research Group and is especially interested in Crown land management in New Brunswick and its impacts on wildlife. Mat loves our nature and it shows. Taking in his talk will be like taking a walk through a June morning forest. Also some nice video footage of the squirrels just might fly in.
