Nature Matters continues with online talks Nov. 12

On Nov. 12, Barbara Linnett will discuss Clatsop County's hummingbirds, their unique behaviors, spectacular colors, amazing speed, and how people can get involved in protecting these important pollinators.

The 7 p.m. presentation takes place Thursday, Nov. 12, online. This free event is open to the public and can be accessed from the Fort George Brewery Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FortGeorgeBrewery/ where they will be streaming via Facebook Live or Fort George's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/fortgeorgebeer.

Barbara Linnett is a bird enthusiast and wildlife volunteer whose favorite birds are hummingbirds. She is a retired nurse who volunteered for the Wildlife Center of the North Coast near Astoria for eight years. When this center has fragile hummingbirds as patients, Linnett is called upon to help with their special rehabilitation needs.

Nature Matters, a lively conversation about the intersection of nature and culture, takes place on the second Thursday of each month from October through May. Nature Matters is hosted by Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in partnership with the North Coast Watershed Association, the Lewis & Clark National Park Association, and the Fort George Brewery + Public House.
