Upcoming Programs and Events
"KFPL Live" speaker series is now online
Shirley French of the Kingston Field Naturalists joins us via Youtube to share photos taken by KFN members, tell us about wildlife we can expect to encounter in the spring, and explain the KFN's work.
Learn about turtles, frogs, salamanders, butterflies, birds, and more! The presentation is offered through three Youtube videos, so while the event is scheduled for Saturday you can enjoy it at any time.
This is the first of our KFPL Live programs to be offered online. If you have a topic you'd like to see covered at KFPL Live share it with us.
