SUMMARY:The History of Farming on Fishers Island (Re-broadcast)
DESCRIPTION:As farming has all but disappeared from Fishers Island it is easy to forget that since first English settlement in 1640s – our Island has primarily been a working stock farm and dairy with centuries of native Americans agricultural use before that – this talk brings farming back to the forefront. \nAn encore virtual screening. \nHLFM Director Pierce Rafferty will host a virtual-only re-broadcast of his recorded illustrated talk ‘The History of Farming on Fishers Island\,’ which was co-produced and co-directed by Marisela La Grave and funded by a generous grant from the Jeanann Gray Dunlap Foundation\, Sunday\, March 10th\, at 4 PM. Please note that this talk was first presented virtually in August 2020. \nFarming was our island’s dominant economic activity for more than two centuries following the first European settlement in the 1640s\, displaced at the west end by resort development beginning in the 1870s and at the east end by the Olmsted Plan in the mid-1920s. There were dairy farms\, gamekeeping farms\, and poultry farms. Before tennis and golf\, there were cows\, sheep\, and chickens! \nJoin Pierce virtually Sunday\, March 10\, 2024\, at 4 PM\, for a tour of this fascinating all-but-forgotten history that includes a visit to the Fishers Island Oyster Farm\, the last surviving farm on Fishers Island. \nSunday\, March 10\, 2024\nTime: 4 p.m.\nLocation: Virtual via Zoom \nJoin Zoom WebinarOr One tap mobile :\n+16699009128\,\,84948782935# US (San Jose)\n+16694449171\,\,84948782935# US\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\nWebinar ID: 849 4878 2935\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kclzfGdZkL \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Farmers haying on Middle Farms Flats\, circa 1920 Photograph by Harold Baker.

SUMMARY:Birds In Winter: Surviving The Most Challenging Season (Rebroadcast)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 4th\, 2024 Museum Director Pierce Rafferty will host a virtual rebroadcast of “Birds In Winter: Surviving The Most Challenging Season\,” first presented and recorded at the Museum in August 2022. This encore screening will be followed by a virtual Q&A with Roger Pasquier.\nLearn about the ecological and behavioral adaptations birds have evolved to survive winter\, which affects not only the birds that remain in regions where it becomes cold\, but also the migrants that go far to avoid the effects of cold\, as well as the resident species with which they share habitat at their destinations.  Winter\, in fact\, affects birds’ lives all through the year. In late summer\, you can already see some birds begin storing food to retrieve months later and others forming the social groups in which they will remain until spring. \nWinter also has distinctive conservation challenges. Many birds winter in latitudes and habitats occupied more densely by people\, reducing the available natural habitat and exposing them to pollutants\, invasive species\, and hunting pressures they do not encounter the rest of the year. Finally\, global warming is altering the nature of winter itself\, shortening the season\, changing or eliminating some vital winter habitats\, shifting food sources\, and throwing off the sense of timing that triggers birds to arrive at both their breeding and winter destinations at the optimal moment. \nSunday\, February 4\, 2024\nTime: 4 p.m.\nLocation: Virtual via Zoom \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar: \nJoin Zoom WebinarOr One tap mobile :\n+16465588656\,\,86515760568# US (New York)\n+16469313860\,\,86515760568# US\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\nWebinar ID: 865 1576 0568\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdMu6J7gyN \n\nRoger Pasquier has enjoyed visiting Fishers Island to see birds and friends since the 1970s.  He is an associate in the Department of Ornithology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.  His career has been in ornithology and conservation at the American Museum\, the Smithsonian Institution\, World Wildlife Fund-U.S.\, Environmental Defense Fund\, and the National Audubon Society.  He is the author of several books on birds and art history\, including Birds in Winter: Surviving the Most Challenging Season (Princeton University Press\, 2019).

SUMMARY:Plastic in the water\, on the land and IN you!: Fighting pollution on Fishers Island and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Plastic pollution is a bad neighbor.  As plastic breaks up into microplastics it disperses into the environment. Researchers are finding plastic particles almost everywhere they look\, including inside the human body. What are the impacts of these plastics\, and what can we do to stop them? \nMichele Klimczak\, Coastal Debris Coordinator for the Fishers Island Conservancy\, will introduce and summarize the widespread impacts of plastic pollution on the Island\, providing local context for Beyond Plastics policy director Megan J. Wolff\, Ph.D. MPH\, whose illustrated talk will address what we can each do to reduce consumption and exposure to plastics. As to wider political solutions\, Dr. Wolff will discuss the exciting legislation pending in New York State that dramatically reduces plastic pollution. \nTime: Sunday\, October 8\, 2023 @ 4:00 – 5:00 P.M.\nPlace: In-person at the Museum\, 2nd Floor and virtual via Zoom\nA joint Fishers Island Conservancy and HLF Museum Program. \n \n \nEven in the off season\, signing up in advance for people attending in person is recommended.

SUMMARY:FIND 2023
DESCRIPTION:FISHERS ISLAND NATURE DISCOVERY\n2023 – The 4th Year of FIND\nA Week (5 DAYS) of Learning Programs for Young Island Naturalists Ages 5 to 10. \nFIND offers a week of learning programs for young Island naturalists on a variety of environmental topics relating to the natural history and stewardship of our Island. Using the Ferguson Museum as a base\, the programs provide an indoor/outdoor learning experience that introduces our children to the Island’s natural resources and some of the challenges faced in maintaining its fragile ecology. Led by professional educators\, the children discover the Island’s natural history through a combination of hands-on exploration\, observation\, and interpretation.\nWHEN: The 2023 FIND program will run for one week from August 14 to August 18; Monday through Friday\, 9 a.m. to noon. \nWHO: 20 children max\, all between the ages of 5 to 10. Depending on numbers\, attendees will either be in one group\, or split into two groups by age. \nEach group will be led by educator/s from the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center (DPNC)\, assisted at times by Museum staff and guest naturalists. \nWHERE: Outdoor locations will vary based on the daily plan\, but will include Fishers Island’s beaches\, woods\, and ponds. Indoor learning will take place at the Museum and will include art and science projects related to the daily subject matter. \nCOST: The cost per participant is $375 for the week. To promote group cohesion and learning\, we encourage all participants to attend all five sessions. \nREGISTRATION: Please call the Museum (631-788-7239) or e-mail fimuseum@fishersisland.net to reserve a spot for your child/children.

SUMMARY:America in Transition: The Gilded Age Years
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated talk by Trudy Coxe\, CEO & Executive Director of the Preservation Society of Newport County will cast light on an underappreciated but incredibly lively period in America that bridged the late 19th to the early 20th century.\nThe expansion of industry and transportation – and the lack of an income tax – gave rise to a new wealthy class of people with names like Vanderbilt\, Morgan\, Ford\, Carnegie and Rockefeller. Massive fortunes were made very quickly and spent on lavish lifestyles. More than opulent mansions\, top hat-wearing robber barons and mustachioed presidents\, the gilded age was a transformative time that ushered in modern America. Learn everything you need to know about this important period of American history. \nTime: Sunday\, August 6\, 2023 @ 4:00 – 5:00 P.M.\nPlace: In-person at the Museum\, 2nd Floor and virtual via zoom\nNOTE: Some in-person talks end up being over subscribed\, sign up in advance recommended for people attending in person.
