We are delighted to welcome Ian Ives from Mass Audubon, on Wednesday afternoon, February 10th at 2 pm, for a Zoom presentation by the Falmouth Public Library.
He will explore the increase in abundance of deer, coyote, fisher, turkey, bobcat and osprey and the conflicts, management measures and ethical considerations that arise as a result.
