SUMMARY:Environmental Microbiology of North Carolina's Natural Places
DESCRIPTION:As we explore North Carolina’s natural habitats\, most often we turn to the things we see around us to inspire us and to help explain the world before us: a babbling brook\, a beautifully peaceful forest\, or a bird’s nest with new hatchlings. It is all too easy to forget that the things we can’t see have real impact. Environmental microbiology is the study of microbes in the environment and their actions are responsible for numerous aspects of life on Earth. In this two-part class we will talk about different types of natural habitats in North Carolina where microbes play important roles in cycling carbon and nutrients throughout ecosystems in order to maintain balance and keep those systems healthy. We will focus on the base of food webs\, aerobic vs anaerobic habitats\, and even touch on the differences in microbial activities in saltwater vs freshwater habitats. \nONSITE | Two Sessions: Thursdays\, September 8 & 15\, 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. \nPre-registration required for participation in an Adult Education class. \nArboretum Members receive a 10% discount on all classes. \nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:All About Fall Warblers
DESCRIPTION:The notorious ‘confusing fall warblers’ pose one of the classic identification challenges for North American birdwatchers. After being born in the summer\, these warblers\, sporting a drabber and often quite different plumage than that of the adults\, undertake their first fall migration and appear in mixed species flocks in our local woods and parks. For all their diversity (there are over 30 species of wood warbler in the Eastern US) many of these ‘hatch year’ birds do share a good many physical characteristics and can be hard to even see well\, much less distinguish! Join Ventures Birding’s Aaron Steed as he highlights some helpful ID tips and pointers\, deciphering those confusing fall warblers and making it all a little less confusing. \nONLINE | Thursday\, September 15\, 6 – 7 p.m. \nPre-registration required for participation in an Adult Education class. \nArboretum Members receive a 10% discount on all classes. \nLEARN MORE
