The Suffield Land Conservancy welcomes all to attend its annual meeting at 7 p.m. on November 7 at the Senior Center. We will be joined by Nicholas McDonald, author of Window into the Jurassic World, who will discuss how our region was once populated by dinosaurs and why Suffield and this region is rich in fossils from that time period. He will describe Triassic and Jurassic environments and ecosystems, and the animals that created the famous trackways in Rocky Hill.
Nick retired as a science teacher at Westminster School in 2014 and for more than 20 years he was a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Wesleyan University. He serves as Curatorial Affiliate at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Mark your calendar to come see images and samples of some of the finest fossils yet obtained in the Connecticut Valley and learn about the reptiles and animals that once roamed this area. A book signing will follow.
