- The Moose is Back, Dave Kramer Research Scientist SUNY ESF Roosevelt Wildlife Station. Dave received degrees from Delaware Valley University in 2009 and from Texas Tech in 2012. Since 2016, Dave has been a research scientist with the SUNY ESF Roosevelt Wildlife Station and provides consultation and research support for moose, deer, bear, turkey and forbearers for NYSDEC. Moose have long been present in the State of New York. Historical records suggest that moose were present north of the Mohawk River as far back as the Pleistocene. Due to unfettered forest harvest and market hunting , moose were deemed extirpated from the landscape by as early as 1861. During this time, moose were also extirpated from neighboring Vermont, but populations persisted elsewhere in North America. It wasn't until the mid 1980's that moose began to take up residence in New York again. Over the next 4 decades moose have slowly repopulated the Adirondacks. Come and join our friends from the Southern Adirondack Audubon Society for a joint program and hear the latest information from Dave Kramer accompanied by photographs.

- William S Brown PhD Timber Rattlesnakes: How They Live and What They Do. Bill will summarize the basic biology of Timber Rattlesnakes and focus on some of the research questions that are useful for evaluating its conservation status. He will frame this perspective toward outdoor enthusiasts and naturalists who may encounter a rattlesnake in the wild. In New York, Timber Rattlesnakes are distributed in two dozen counties. Many populations were extirpated or depleted throughout the state over the past two centuries. The species was listed as "threatened" in 1983 and has been fully protected by New York State law for the past 40 years. Please join our friends from the Southern Adirondack Audubon Society for a joint program at Crandall Public Library.
