ECOLOGY LECTURE SERIES
ECOLOGY LECTURE SERIES
Each summer the MAI Ecology committee presents a series of lectures related to the ecology and history of Monhegan Island. These talks are generally held in person at the Monhegan Schoolhouse at 7:30pm. At times we have also been able to provide talks virtually via Zoom. See below for further information including recordings of some past lectures. Attendance is free of charge, although donations are greatly appreciated (suggested donation = $10).
