SUMMARY:A Rose by Any Other Name: Exploring the Controversial History of Taxonomy Grant Munroe
DESCRIPTION:Starting from early childhood\, all of us are taught about simple classifications within nature. Snoopy is a beagle. A beagle is a dog. A dog is a mammal. And a mammal is an animal. Seems simple. But as guest presenter Grant Munroe will show\, the process of naming and sorting individual organisms within a systemic hierarchy — the practice of taxonomy — has an ancient\, fascinating\, and often controversial history. From folk taxonomies to the groundbreaking work of Carl Linnaeus\, Darwin’s evolutionary theory to contemporary genetic testing\, this lecture will take guests on a journey over hundreds of years of discovery. A must for anyone interested in learning about the naming of nature\, including common names\, Latin binomials\, and more.

SUMMARY:Monthly meeting
DESCRIPTION:Phragmites australis (common reed)\, is an aggressive invasive plant that is invading the Great Lakes and is dominant in Essex County wetlands and other habitats. Club President Karen Alexander has been working with phragmites in Ontario since 2011.\n\nKaren is co-founder of the Ontario Phragmites Working Group (OPWG) and served as co-chair of the OPWG from 2015 to 2021. She will share her knowledge about this plant\, how it arrived to the Great Lakes\, why it became so pervasive on the landscape and present a number of control options that have been developed in Ontario that are leading to phragmites-free shorelines and communities.\n\nThis presentation will draw on the expertise of the Invasive Phragmites Control Centre\, the Invasive Species Centre\, and the Ontario Phragmites Working Group.\n\nJoin us Wednesday\, Aug. 11\, at 7:30 p.m. on Zoom and hear from Karen about this important topic.

SUMMARY:Monthly meeting on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly meeting on Zoom to hear from guest speaker Lauren Weller\, who will talk about restoration in agricultural landscapes. \nAgricultural landscapes\, such as Essex County\, produce a variety of ecosystem services\, the value of which is often underappreciated\, and can be important refuges for biodiversity. \nAgriculture is also frequently the cause of numerous disservices to natural ecosystems\, including habitat loss\, soil degradation\, and erosion leading to nutrient runoff and harmful algal blooms. \nHowever\, addressing these challenges may offer a clear opportunity to revitalize freshwater ecosystems\, preserve soils\, sequester carbon and increase biodiversity through improved functioning of agro-ecosystems. \nLauren will take a long view of managing soil for ecosystem health\, past\, present and future\, including some research currently being carried out in Essex County that speaks to the sustainable management and restoration of these landscapes. \nTap here on Wednesday\, July 14\, at 7:30 p.m. to join us on Zoom and hear from Lauren about this important local topic.
