SUMMARY:Mindful Nature Mosey
DESCRIPTION:Location: Cold Spring Park Loop Trail (1.4 miles) \nJoin us for a mindful and meditative nature stroll as we slow down\, be attentive to nature with all our senses\, and deepen our appreciation for Newton’s green spaces and for each other. Dr. Louise Aronson is attributed for naming “Elderhood” as the penultimate\, vital\, and rich phase of human life. Nature likewise offers many examples of more-than-human Elders that also continue to grow\, connect\, and contribute to the world around us. As a group we’ll appreciate nature mindfully\, drawing on practices such as Shinrun Yoku (‘forest bathing’). \nOur Mindful Nature Mosey will include: simple warm-up movements\, natural history of the area\, guided breathing and centering awareness\, and mindful walking with sensory activities. There will be invitations to pause\, reflect and to share our observations with each other. All are welcome to experience our innate connection within nature. As Shinrin Yoku (‘forest bathing’) and similar practices around the world are reminding us\, nurturing our inherent relationship with nature is good for us\, body and soul. \nCold Springs Park is a gentle 1.4 mile loop\, going through woods and wetlands. \nStefanie Haug LICSW\, is a local psychotherapist and nature therapy guide. \nRSVP required. Please call 617-796-1675\, stop by the Front Desk at 20 Hartford Street\, or send your name\, telephone number\, and email address to our receptionists at OASprograms@newtonma.gov

SUMMARY:Why Are There So Many Turkeys? (Talking All Things Turkey)
DESCRIPTION:The native turkeys we currently see in such abundance were extirpated from Massachusetts not so long ago. Their revival is a true success story\, unless you’ve tangled with an aggressive one. Join Newton Conservator’s Barbara Bates as she explores the habits and natural & cultural history of this interesting bird\, including “pecking order” and how it survives so well in our cities. \nFor more than 16 years\, Barbara Bates was a teacher naturalist for Mass Audubon’s Habitat Education Center & Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont\, MA. Before the pandemic\, she led guided nature walks for all ages on a variety of subjects and presented programs at several Continuing Care Retirement Communities and Senior Centers. She currently serves on the Board of the Newton Conservators. Barbara has retired several times – first from a long career in the high-tech world and more recently from teaching negotiation and conflict resolution as an adjunct faculty member at Northeastern University. She loves all things nature. \nThis webinar is the last of the Newton Conservators Fall 2023 Webinar Series.

SUMMARY:Rodenticides in Birds of Prey in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Some rodenticides (rodent poisons) have the ability to bioaccumulate in the food chain and can potentially affect a predator or scavenger that ingests an animal that consumed the poison bait. In this talk\, Dr. Murray will present the findings of her research investigating exposure to rodenticides in four species of birds of prey in Massachusetts. Maureen Murray\, DVM\, is the Director of Tufts Wildlife Clinic and an Associate Clinical Professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. In addition to her ongoing research on rodenticides in birds of prey\, Dr. Murray provides medical and surgical care to native New England wildlife and teaches veterinary students about wildlife medicine in the clinic and in the classroom. \nRegister: https://bit.ly/3YsmNaE\nInfo: https://newtonconservators.org/events/webinar-rodenticides-in-birds-of-prey-in-massachusetts/ \nThis FREE webinar is part of the Newton Conservators Fall Webinar Series.

SUMMARY:Sensory Processing in Children: How Parents Can Help
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Our Differences will present this informative evening webinar on Wednesday Oct. 18 at 7PM. Advance registration required. \nEverything we do as human beings is dependent on our brains perceiving\, interpreting and organizing the sensory information that surrounds us. Like many human abilities\, this sensory processing can be variable\, and impact the ease and success of many of our daily activities. Presenters Nikki Saccomandi and Kasey Joy\, occupational therapists and assistant clinical directors at OTA the Koomar Center\, will teach you basic principles and strategies of sensory processing\, which will help parents\, teachers and caregivers provide understanding and support to people with sensory processing challenges. Modifying tasks and the environment can often make a huge difference in how we perceive our world. \nRegister in advance here (free but donations welcome): https://understandingourdifferences.org/sensory-processing/
