SUMMARY:Zahner Lecture Series | Bats in Your Backyard at Highlands Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Rada Petric\, Assistant Research Professor and Director of the UNC IE Highlands Field Site\, UNC Institute for the Environment. \nUrbanization\, landscape modification and concomitant pollutants (sound\, light\, and chemical compounds) alter the natural landscape which in turn influences animal behavior\, biology\, and survival. Sound\, light and microplastics are emerging contaminants of interest. Due to the increased detection of these emerging contaminants\, most habitats have become threatened. Despite the documented record of their occurrence in literature\, there remains a great deal of mystery surrounding their occurrence’s ecological consequence. Her primary research interest is understanding how anthropogenic disturbances are altering community composition and reshaping ecosystems. Here\, we discuss several studies focused on understanding how bats and small mammals respond to human disturbances. \nFREE | No registration required \nSponsored by Mary Todd & Jimmy Davis\, Nancy & Lyle Nichols\, and Miriam & Vernon Skiles.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Diane Heiler at Hudson Library
DESCRIPTION:Local author Diane Pike Heiler will introduce her newly-released memoir\, A Widow’s Fire: An Intimate Memoir of Heartbreak\, Survival\, and Moving Forward\, on Friday June 27 at 11:00 AM. Books will be available for purchase and signing at this free program. \nAfter losing her beloved husband following a decade-long battle with cancer—and navigating the weight of anticipatory grief—Diane never set out to write a book. She began journaling to heal\, but as she connected with others who had experienced deep loss\, she realized her story could offer comfort and inspiration. Through raw honesty and unexpected revelations\, Diane’s memoir invites readers on a powerful journey of grief\, resilience\, and the surprising ‘fire’ that helped reignite her will to move forward. \nAccording to prostate cancer survivor/author\, Don Kaltenbach\, “The death of a loved one\, and in particular a spouse\, will affect a great percentage of us during our lifetimes. This book is about the dedicated perseverance of a caregiver taken to the end of the ride\, and then dropped off to deal with the unexpected depth and unforeseen emotions thereafter. Diane provides insight and perspective beyond the black veil. You will laugh\, cry\, be moved\, educated and informed. A must read for women and men.” \nFor more information or to request an accommodation\, please call the library at 828-526-3031. Hudson Library\, 554 Main Street in Highlands\, is open 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM Tuesday through Friday and 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM on SaturdCommun
