Join the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) at the Newfound Lake Inn on Wednesday, October 15th at 5pm for Newfound Science Pub, an engaging way to connect with experts in science and conservation – over food and drinks. Small but mighty, mosses play crucial roles in some of our most fascinating habitats. Jeff Holcombe, botanist, educator, photographer, and former Seymour Loomis Faculty Chair in Science at the Loomis Chaffee School, will talk about the importance and beauty of these ancient plants. Learn how these living fossils shape ecosystems, the habitats they depend on, and the challenges they face in a changing world. Discuss current issues, ask your burning questions, and share your own perspective in a casual, social atmosphere. This event is free; attendees arrive around 5pm to purchase food and drinks, and the conversation begins at 6pm. Registration is required. Register by visiting NewfoundLake.org/events or calling 603-744-8689.
