Darien Land Trust--"Becoming a Positive Force for Nature"

"Becoming a Positive Force for Nature" will be presented at Darien Library on Thursday, May 6 at 7 p.m. Aided by vivid slides that bring out nature's full colors, the Darien Land Trust is going to reveal how it is becoming a positive force for nature. It will also include a beautiful short film, "The State of the Birds," created by the Cornell Ornithological Lab.

Shirley Nichols, Executive Director of the Darien Land Trust, will highlight the accomplishments of the Darien Land Trust this past year and describe many projects underway.

Den Frelinghuysen, Co-chair of Stewardship for the Darien Land Trust, will address why it is important to provide natural habitat for birdlife, and how improving habitat for birds also improves habitat for us and our children. He will show in detail examples of recent stewardship projects based on that objective.

Chris Filmer, Co-chair of Stewardship, will present an intimate bird's-eye view of a local backyard, and how just a few changes can make a huge difference in becoming a positive force for nature.

Darien Library is located at 1441 Post Road, Darien, Conn. For more information, visit darienlibrary.org or call 203-655-1234.
