Mark’s talk is titled: Nature Next Door
The Wild is all around us. You can find it in the high in the Polar Ice, the Antarctic Peninsula, the Maasai Mara. But also very near to home. There is nowhere in these United States more than a tank of gas or a full charge on an EV round trip from the Natural World. And that world has commonalities. Mark Seth Lender will speak about what ties it all together. Included will be photographs and fieldwork from his 35 years of fieldwork on every continent on earth.
Bio: Mark Seth Lender is Explorer in Residence for the nationally distributed Public Radio program, Living on Earth. His byline, “Nature Next Door” is a regular feature at Connecticut Examiner. In 2015 he was inducted into the Explorers Club.
