Hear the sounds of the wild more intensely than you’ve ever experienced before.

The public is invited to the Gillagallou Bird Store in Almonte at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 25, for an overview of soundscaping and how it is being used locally by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) to monitor biodiversity on its protected properties. Participants will be able to hear a variety of interesting species and see if they can guess what they are.

There is no charge for the presentation, but donations to support MMLT’s conservation work will be gladly accepted. For more information, see the event listing on the MMLC website.
