SUMMARY:Learning Series: Lessons from Dragonflies and Damselflies
DESCRIPTION:Virginia “Ginger” Brown\, a former president of the Barrington Land Conservation Trust\, is the state’s leading expert on the Odonata—the order of insects comprised of the dragonflies and damselflies—and the author of two authoritative books on the group. \nGinger will share her knowledge of insects and their importance to our world on Monday\, April 13\, at 7 pm in the Salem Family Auditorium at the Barrington Public Library\, our partner in the Learning Series. \nREGISTER FOR THE EVENT \nThe program will introduce you to the world of insects\, including anatomy\, life cycle\, behavior\, migration and habitat\, as well as some of the largest and most conspicuous insect groups. \nGinger will discuss insect abundance and diversity\, their role in nature and significance to people\, invasive species\, threats and worldwide insect declines\, and conservation. She will offer suggestions for attracting insects and enhancing insect habitat in your own backyard. Ginger’s book\, Dragonflies and Damselflies of Rhode Island\, will be available for sale at the event. \n  \nAbout Ginger Brown \nAt The Nature Conservancy\, she was Director of Science and Stewardship and led the Rhode Island Odonata Atlas\, a citizen-science based inventory of dragonflies and damselflies in Rhode Island. \nWhen TNC passed these programs on to the Rhode Island Natural History Survey\, she moved to the Survey to lead its ecological inventory and monitoring efforts and complete the Odonata Atlas. \nCurrently\, she teaches about environmental science and nature for Living In Fulfilling Environments\, Inc. and for the Audubon Society of Rhode Island. She still gets out to chase dragonflies and other insects as often as possible. \nDownload helpful resources on insects. \n  \nThanks to our 2026 Learning Series Sponsors!\n \n \n  \n \nCharles E.
