SUMMARY:"Co-existing with Coyotes" at Fairfield Public Library
DESCRIPTION:There are few species in North America as misunderstood and maligned as the coyote. Yet many understand them as a symbol of resilience and a subject of admiration\, a North American mascot and vital member of our ecological team. Please join us for the Wolf Conservation Center’s talk about eastern coyotes\, their history and ecology\, and what we can do to best coexist with them. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of the behavior and benefits of the eastern coyote and how to empower our community with the tools\, information\, and resources to help us peacefully coexist with this local species. \nRegistration is encouraged.

SUMMARY:Benedict Arnold: CT's Conflicted Traitor
DESCRIPTION:Benedict Arnold’s name is synonymous with being a traitor. At an important point in the Revolutionary War\, he orchestrated the handover of top-secret plans about the Patriots’ most important fort\, West Point\, to British spy John Andre. The plot unraveled; otherwise\, the outcome of the fight for independence may have had a different ending.  \nBefore he joined the British\, Arnold was considered the finest military leader on the Patriot side. Why did he switch? What role did his shattered dreams play while growing up in Norwich? \nJoin journalist\, podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen for this amazing story.  Registration encouraged.
