Dr. Camila Gomez with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will be joining us via Zoom to give a special talk on how our local conservation efforts can have a global impact. Dr. Gomez will discuss how the birds she researches in the Columbian rain forests connect to our conserved lands in New Hampshire and beyond.

This year we're working on a recipe swap in place of the usual potluck lunch, so send in your favorite recipe!

We'll be hosting a Zoom Happy Hour on January 21st from 5:00 - 6:00 pm for who would like to test their internet connection, practice getting on to Zoom, or just chat!

An American Elegy
 
We go back to not dying,
wherever we fall is the beginning --

an allée of elms planted to create
a lace of sunlight and shadow.
 
What separates branches from wind
in designing their dance? Nothing.
​
We carry our own seasons wondering
when we will have wept enough.
 
We crave the cheerfulness of a park,
the feathered voices of children.
 
We know we are not brave but ordinary.
We hold our breath and listen

for our common language,
the murmur under the hum.
An American Elegy is by Grace Mattern, one of Bear-Paw's Board members. Grace has published two poetry books and she writes columns on social justice issues, in nonprofit publications, and as a member of the Board of Contributors of The Concord Monitor.

Grace first shared An American Elegy during Bear-Paw's virtual Breakfast fundraiser this spring.
