All LLCT members and friends are invited to join us for the annual meeting featuring a keynote address by Matt Burne, Conservation Director at the Walden Woods Project and Vice-President of the Vernal Pool Association. Matt Burne will bring the captivating and ephemeral nature of vernal pools into focus as he explores their biological diversity and ecology. Learn about spotted salamanders, wood frogs, fairy shrimp, and other wildlife species that rely on these amazing ponds.

The meeting is being held in Flint Hall at St. Anne’s in-the-Fields. A reception, including light refreshments and drinks, begins at 7:00 pm. The LLCT business meeting begins at 7:30 pm, and the keynote address will follow.

Many thanks to former trustee and current Education Committee member, Selina Rossiter, and Jennie Cook, Parish Administrator at St. Anne’s for coordinating the use of the church’s beautiful facilities.
