SUMMARY:Celebrating the Charles River - A Slideshow and Interactive Evening
DESCRIPTION:Carole Smith Berney\nNaturalist\n\nWatch the lecture online\n\n
 Please join us for a "virtual walk" along the Charles River Upper Greenway
  Path in Newton and Watertown-a slide presentation focusing on the surpris
 ing diversity of the urban landscape presented by Watertown naturalist Car
 ole Smith Berney. Ms. Berney's colorful and entertaining slide show featur
 es images of birds\, waterfowl\, cormorants\, cottontail rabbits\, great b
 lue herons\, turtles\, seasonal riverscapes and sunsets\, and the people w
 ho walk\, run\, skate\, bike\, fish and birdwatch along the path. She will
  also discuss efforts over the last decade to restore the river banks as v
 iable habitat for wildlife and to create a path that enables human enjoyme
 nt with minimal impact on the flora and fauna there.\n\nCarole Smith Berne
 y\, M.A. is a Watertown naturalist\, wildlife photographer\, nature educat
 or and member of the Newton Camera Club. Inspired by her many walks on the
  MDC Charles River Upper Greenway Path in Watertown and Newton\, she has d
 ocumented life along the river in all seasons and weather over several yea
 rs. Her "portraits" of animals-great blue herons\, snapping turtles\, cott
 ontail rabbits\, wood ducks-help to enhance the community's appreciation o
 f the biodiversity and natural beauty found close to urban settings. She c
 ontinues to exhibit her work locally\, and to present slideshows for diver
 se audiences: libraries\, community groups\, assisted living facilities\, 
 senior centers\, and public and private schools from kindergarten through 
 high school.\n\nHer publications include "Clever Critters\," featuring pho
 tographs of animal behavior\, in a forthcoming issue of Highlights for Chi
 ldren\, and Wildflowers Along the Upper Greenway Path\, partially funded b
 y the Watertown Cultural Council and the Department of Parks and Recreatio
 n (formerly MDC). The Massachusetts Cultural Council has designated the la
 tter publication as an exemplary\, "gold star" project for its significanc
 e in wedding the arts with community involvement. Her image\, "Glowing Mal
 lards\," was chosen by the Massachusetts Audubon Society for inclusion in 
 its Important Bird Areas exhibit. Her various slideshows and exhibits have
  entertained and enlightened many a nature-lover\, birder\, and wildflower
  enthusiast.\n\nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the Newton Free Library (6
 17-796-1360) and the Newton Conservators\, Newton's own organization that 
 promotes the protection and preservation of open space. Carole Smith Berne
 y's lecture is the eighth in the twice yearly Newton Conservators Lecture 
 Series\, which features renowned experts in areas related to the open spac
 e mission of the Conservators. As part of their educational outreach\, the

 nd cards will be available for purchase as well as the Conservators public
