Wildlife will take center stage in series of webinar presentations this summer. The Mercer County Park Commission Naturalist Department will bring online programming right to your home, focusing on wildlife that affects our lives, even in an urbanized environment. These programs are free; registration is required.
Each one-hour webinar will be presented by naturalists from the Park Commission and researchers from the Conserve Wildlife Foundation in partnership with the Wildlife Center Friends, with funding provided by PSE&G. Programs are suitable for teens and adults.
Each virtual summer lecture will take place from 7 – 8pm and conclude with a Q&A session for the public to ask questions about any of the topics after each program. Participants will be able to submit questions in advance of the program by email to krypkema@mercercounty.org. Questions also can be asked through the chat feature in the webinar.
