Free Member Zoom Event – Pamela Lowell “My Summer with Ospreys”

September 17, 2024 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Author presentation with Pamela Lowell on the writing of her book “My Summer with Ospreys: a therapist’s journey towards hope, community and healing our planet“.

Tuesday September 17th 7:00 PM

Register Here : https://www.ctaudubon.org/2024/08/free-member-zoom-event/

 

As a trauma specialist, Pamela Lowell expertly guides us to the connections between therapy, the life of an artist, and the natural world as a place of healing. Lowell, an avid birder, jumped at the chance to accompany Mass Audubon in their weekly Osprey nest monitoring project on the Westport River. She hoped to get some photos of cute Osprey chicks that she could use in her paintings. But what happened next was nothing short of transformative.

 

In journal format, Lowell weaves together a deeply personal and exciting narrative as a passenger on the Lucky Me--along with a cast of dedicated staff and volunteers. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy descriptions of the nest monitoring process, banding, and translocation of Osprey chicks. Pamela perfectly captures our dilemma of being poised between desperate worry and the urgent need to do something specific to help our planet. With her original illustrations throughout, this book inspires us all to be better stewards and healers of our ever-changing world.
