This meeting has been cancelled.
The Mattapoisett Woman’s Club will hold their February meeting on Thursday, February 19 at noon in Reynard Hall at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church, 27 Church Street. Our February program will feature a talk about the roseate tern by Kathy Parsons, Ph.D., Director, Coastal Waterbird Program Mass Audubon.
The Coastal Waterbird Program monitors and protects 180 nesting sites on the Massachusetts coastline including Piping Plovers, Massachusetts Least Terns, and Massachusetts American Oystercatchers. In addition, the program is instrumental in the protection of Roseate Terns during the months after breeding when the birds are preparing for migration. Today, the Coastal Waterbird Program advocates for the protection of the entire coastal ecosystem and serves as a model for integrated coastal resource management.
Please join us at noon for a light lunch and an introduction to interesting facts about our local coastal birdlife.
