The popularity of the humble Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginic) has exploded in recent years not only due to its healthy and tasty attributes, but also as a result of the ecological services the oyster provides to our environment. Today’s oysters are viewed as a special commodity with consumers picking favorites based on the embayments in which they are grown, much the way wine enthusiasts choose vintages.
Water quality experts agree that there may be no better choice for improving the health of our embayments than oyster reefs and farms. Mass Audubon is working with local agencies and partners to bring back the wild oyster reef to Cape Cod’s waters. Through this fascinating presentation, you will learn about the power of the oyster to improve both our body’s health and our ecosystem’s health.
Wednesday, April 9 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, April 17 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

don’t expect on Cape Cod from Otters to Weasels. We’ll check them out, on
screen of course, during a virtual tour led by Ian Ives, Director of the Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary in Barnstable. You may discover some surprises in
your neighborhood.

Local author Ric Wasley introduces
his newest novel Candle in the Wind. The work of historical fiction has earned
high praise from authors like William Martin who says, “Here's your invitation to visit Civil War America, to go to the seat of
war and the seat of domesticity as well, to know not only the fears of the
soldier but the worries of the family he leaves behind. Once Candle in the
Wind takes hold, you will not want to put it down. It's lively, evocative,
and bursting with drama.”
Ric Wasley is a writer and lecturer as well as the author of
the popular McCarthy Mystery Series set in Boston in 1968. Ric has a 40 year
professional career history in advertising, publishing and marketing in Boston, New York and
San Francisco.
He has degrees in history and psychology and has been trained in debating,
public speaking and stage acting. A large part of his 40 year career was spent
in numerous professional and business settings as a presenter and featured
speaker at seminars and professional meetings. Ric has been a
visiting professor at Worcester Polytech Institute. He also teaches a popular
course on marketing for authors at prominent venues such as the venerable “Cape
Cod Writers Conference”. Wasley currently divides
his time between the Boston Metro-West and his home on Cape
Cod where he continues to write, lecture and create worlds where
the unexpected thrives.
