Rachel with newly planted agave.At noon January 29, 2025, Rachel Burke of Bat Conservation International (BCI) will present her work to help conserve nectar-feeding bats and restore their native habitats. This Lunch and Learn event of the Western Institute of Lifelong Learning (WILL) is part of free public programs by WILL and the Silver City Museum. The presentation will occur in the ABC room of the WNMU Global Resource Center, at 817 W. 12th Street in Silver City. You can also attend virtually through this link: https://wnmu.zoom.us/j/8818268280#success
Rachel has been working with citizens in Grant County and other parts of the Southwest to collect bat DNA from their hummingbird feeders, and to plant agaves. The results will help scientists better understand the conditions that could aid recovery of nectar-feeding (nectivorous) bats.
Nectivorous bats and agaves have a mutualistic relationship. Pregnant bats need the sweet nectar of agave flowers to fuel their annual migration from central Mexico to the southwestern U.S., where they give birth and raise their pups. Agaves need the bats to disperse their pollen and propagate new plants. Agaves also have many uses to humans, and are important to both rural communities in Mexico and consumers in the U.S.
The Silver City Public Library will host "Meditation: A Tool to Balance Your Life," a meditation workshop with experienced instructor William Smith on Thursday, January 30, 10:00am. The session will happen simultaneously in-person and online. Those interested in attending virtually can find registration information at www.silvercitypubliclibrary.org.
"We live in a fast-paced world, filled with challenges and constant demands made on our precious time. Wouldn't it be nice if we could step back, take a little vacation from all the tension and find a place filled with joy, bliss and peace?" stated William Smith's representative. "When we learn how to meditate, we find such a place within our very selves. The practice of meditation is an invaluable tool helping people reduce stress, gain a deeper sense of fulfillment in life as well as foster greater physical, emotional and spiritual well-being." William Smith, retired Army Lt. Colonel and long-time meditator, offers a practical technique of meditation that can positively impact participants' lives. Smith's first-hand demonstrations of this simple yet highly effective method can lead to deeper concentration, relaxation and personal growth. The presentation will also allow time for participants to ask questions.
