Fireside Series: Salt Marsh Restoration

Posted

Join the Norman Bird Sanctuary and Nick Ernst, Wildlife Biologist with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Rhode Island Refuge Complex, for a Fireside Lecture. Gather by the fire with a Hot Toddy as we discuss the New England Cottontail!

This native rabbit has been severely impacted by habitat loss and competition from introduced Eastern Cottontails. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and its partners have been working to restore this species to part of its original range.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
