(Virtual) Living with Black Bears
2023-05-30 19:00 - 20:00
Via Zoom
Join Jonathan Russell, Wildlife Biologist with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, for an evening of learning about black bears in New York. Jonathan will talk about how DEC manages black bear populations, research, and conflict mitigation in the Hudson Valley and southern Catskills.
Black Bears have become common and well-established over much of our region, yet many residents rarely, if ever, get a glimpse of a bear unless spotted crossing a road or accessing a homeowner’s trash or bird feeders. Learn about bear biology, behavior, and measures you can take to avoid human-bear conflicts.
Jonathan Russell is a NYSDEC Regional Bear Biologist, covering the mid and lower Hudson Valley and southern Catskill Mountains. He has spent the majority of his 15 year career with the DEC focusing on the management of big game species and resolving human-wildlife conflicts.
Presented by the Lewisboro, Bedford Free, Pound Ridge and Ruth Keeler Memorial libraries.

Alzheimer's Caregivers: Effective Communication Strategies
2023-06-08 14:00 - 15:00
The Library is hosting two in-person workshops this summer for individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, as a way for caregivers to learn and share experiences. This first one is on effective communicating.
Individuals living with dementia often experience changes in behavior that can be confusing to their caregivers. For caregivers, learning to decode messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language can help both parties connect in meaningful ways. This program helps explain the communication changes that take place in a person with dementia and identify strategies to connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
Presented by the The Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter. Space is limited, please register below.
