The Lynnfield Tree Committee invites the community to attend a lecture by local naturalist Steve Fantone at 7 p.m. Monday, March 3, at the Meeting House, 617 Main St.
Fantone will present a visual tour of Reedy Meadow through still and video photography, emphasizing the vital role trees play in supporting wildlife and human well-being.
A longtime Lynnfield resident, Fantone is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking, walking, and paddling through New England’s open spaces with his wife and baby. For the past several years, he has documented the wildlife and landscape of Reedy Meadow, the largest freshwater cattail marsh in Massachusetts.
The connection between trees and wildlife is essential to healthy ecosystems. Wildlife depend on trees for reproduction, food, shelter, protection from predators, and, for some, a perch or lookout for hunting prey. Both live and dead trees play crucial roles in sustaining biodiversity.
The event, which runs from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., is open to all ages. Light refreshments will be served.
