SUMMARY:Spring Migration: Birds and Butterflies Hike
DESCRIPTION:Search for migratory birds and butterflies at the Weedon Island Preserve on a guided hike!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the spring\, many species of birds and butterflies begin their migrations from overwintering areas in South or Central America to their breeding grounds in more northerly latitudes. Florida is an ideal stopover point on these migration routes for species to rest and refuel before continuing their long journeys. In Pinellas County\, this time of year affords us the opportunity to see many species that aren’t found here year-round or very often at all. Join us for a guided hike led by Ron Smith\, an expert on Pinellas County’s bird and butterfly species\, to observe some of these migrants at the Weedon Island Preserve. \nThis hike is recommended for adults. \nProceeds from this hike go to the Friends of Weedon Island. The Friends support the Weedon Island Preserve through education\, preservation and protection of its habitats\, ecology\, and cultural history. Become a Friend today! \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Respirator Safety Training
DESCRIPTION:OSHA Respiratory Requirements for Worker Protection Standards\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre you a pesticide applicator using restricted-use pesticides that require the use of a respirator? Agricultural commodities like row crops\, tree crops\, forestry crops\, nurseries\, and other agricultural applications are the common commodities that the training applies to. We will provide guidelines on pesticide safety\, label interpretations\, and PPE information for use of respirators. \nIf you have asked yourself these questions\, we will answer these during the training session. \n·Can I do a fit test myself? \n·How soon do I need to change my cartridges? \n·What documentation do I need to stay in compliance? \n·What OSHA components of the respiratory protection were incorporated into the WPS? \n·How do I select the right respirator? \n·Do I need to see a doctor to wear a respirator? \nWe will help you understand NIOSH nomenclature on respirators. We will have a representative present who offers respirator fit testing. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Anclote River Region
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology Talk: \nInvestigations into the Archaeology of the Anclote River Region \nInvestigations into the Archaeology of the Anclote River Region \nPhyllis E. Kolianos\, M.A.\, RPA\nAlliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. \nWithin Central Peninsula Gulf Coast\, the archaeology of the Anclote River is understudied and underreported relative to other population centers. In the late 1800s\, S. T. Walker and F. H. Cushing noted the importance of the mounds and pre-Columbian sites on the banks of the river\, and both investigated the Safford (Ormond) Mound\, 8PI3\, near the upstream riverine system\, a reused burial mound dating over 1\,500 years. Almost 20 years of investigations into the archaeology of the Anclote River region reveal some important results that support recent research at other major sites and suggest shifting population settlements and sea-level change. \nPhyllis received her BA and MA degrees from the University of South Florida in Applied Anthropology\, and in 2009 received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the USF\, Department of Anthropology. In her past position with Pinellas County\, she supported the archaeological programs and activities at Weedon Island Preserve and was instrumental in the establishment of the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. (AWIARE) and their research station at the Preserve. Kolianos has worked for many years with the investigation and recording of area sites\, and has been active with public archaeology projects\, grants\, and archaeological research projects involving Weedon Island’s cultural resources and other lands within Pinellas County. Her most recent and on-going project is the archaeology of the Anclote River region. \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/weedon-island-preserve-cultural-and-natural-history-center-1250121017
