A new speaking series on the natural world in Bedford will launch Thursday, April 24, with a program featuring Scott Loarie, executive director of iNaturalist, the world’s largest citizen science project. Loarie will be joined by Mianus River Gorge director of land management, Budd Veverka — a noted expert on bears and other mammals, invasive species, and forest restoration — in a conversation to be moderated by David Pogue of “CBS News Sunday Morning.” 

The first in a series of three evening events at Bedford Historical Hall, the April 24 program, “Wildlife,” will explore Bedford’s changing world of wildlife, including bears, bobcats, coyotes, opossums, skunks, otters, snakes, frogs, turtles and salamanders that all play vital roles in a dynamic ecosystem.

This new “Bedford Field Notes” series is presented by the Mianus River Gorge in partnership with the Bedford Historical Society, Bedford Garden Club and Rusticus Garden Club. 

Future events will include “Water,” May 21, and the final program, “Land,” on June 11. All three events will be held at Bedford Historical Hall, located at 608 Old Post Road, Bedford, from 6 to 8 p.m.

“‘Bedford Field Notes’ is a new series that explores the natural resources that make Bedford such a special place to live: our abundant wildlife, vital rivers and aquifers, scenic vistas, and unspoiled land,” said Mianus River Gorge trustee John Needham.

Pogue, “CBS News Sunday Morning” correspondent and regular “Eco Dude” columnist for The Recorder, will moderate all three programs in the series.
