The winter of 2013-2014 saw perhaps the largest invasion of snowy owls into the eastern United States in 100 years, providing an unprecedented opportunity to learn more about these mysterious arctic hunters. That led to the project SNOWstorm. The project is a collaborative study focused on snowy owls, funded with help from people around the world, and came together over several weeks of frantic effort.
Ten years later, this project continues to generate discoveries and unexpected insights into the life and ecology of this white-breasted raptor.
“Birds have a way of bringing people together, and Scott has a way of making bird life so fascinating. This is a great opportunity to hear from a world-renowned ornithologist.” said Derek Rogers, Adirondack Land Trust Stewardship Manager.

On Thursday, February 22, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., David Kanyetakeron Fadden of the Six Nations Iroquois Cultural Center and Chris Jage of the Adirondack Land Trust will explore the natural world through the lens of Owen: Ton Kaliwatekwen. Explore Haudenosaunee relationships. It’s called the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address, and it explains how that perspective can influence the way non-Indigenous people protect the environment.
Fadden and Jayge describe how they are applying this perspective to protect more than 300 acres of forest in Onchiota, while also providing space for a planned expansion of the cultural center and working together to protect it. Talk about how you’re blazing a new path.
