The Dutch Golden Age of Painting was ushered in by a prosperous middle class and a new demand for images like still-lifes, portraits and genre scenes. The undisputed masters of the era were Rembrandt and Vermeer. This program provides an overview of the artists’ careers and an introduction to some of their most famous works.

Becoming Wolf: Eastern Coyotes in New Hampshire
2024-10-16 17:00 - 18:30
Chris Schadler returns to KPL for a talk on Becoming Wolf: Eastern Coyotes in New Hampshire
Myths surround the coyote and cloud our understanding of it. Originating as the
smaller western coyote, eastern coyotes share genes with the eastern wolf and
Great Lakes Gray Wolf. Its hybrid nature enables its resilience and adaptability to
live in farms, forest, or cities. While livestock are not its natural prey, sheep, goat
and chicken farmers can coexist and even benefit from their presence.
It has rewilded the northeast with its howl and ability to prey on large and small
mammals but despite its ecological benefits, it is the most persecuted carnivore in
North America. And despite human efforts to eradicate it, it survives and thrives
among us.
Chris holds a Masters in Conservation Biology and offers 40 years of
research and specialization in wild canids, particularly the Eastern Wolf
and the Eastern Coyote. Now retired from teaching Conservation,
Dendrology and Wolf Ecology at UNH and Conservation at Granite
​State College, she provides education and presentations throughout New
England.
