This seminar was developed by Stephen, a local real estate broker from the Kittery area with the purpose of giving home owners, whether they have owned a home a short time or a very long time, a keen in-sight and providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge for what it takes to prepare for a move both physically and psychologically.  This seminar will walk you through the process sorting out the details and becoming prepared for the sale of a home.  The idea came to Steve after his move to the area and noticed that there are many information sharing programs to prepare those interested in buying home but not for selling one.  Steve brings to this seminar the experience gained from a long real estate career and the good fortune to have taught buyer readiness workshops in partnership with local lenders, community home buyer advocacy organizations in Vermont.

Over the last several years Thomas has developed an interest and knowledge about insect gardening (pollinators, butterfly larval host plants, etc.) and would love to share that knowledge. This presentation includes slides and videos, and will be of most interest to people who enjoy gardening, the environment, hobby entomologists and birders. Session one will focus on the plight of insects and an overview of the most important groups and their role in the environment. Session two will focus on two important groups, the Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths) and the Bees, and how we can support these in gardens or restoration projects.
