Wild DFW: The Moon & Nature at Night 

45-min Powerpoint plus 5 to 10-min Q&A, followed by book signing (1-hour slot)

Known by many as the Moonlady, Amy Martin, author of Wild DFW: Explore the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth, merges fascinating nocturnal nature insights from the book with her deep knowledge of the Moon. After this talk, you’ll be a pro-level Moon watcher able to predict where it will be at any time. Understand synchrony which creates tides and causes us to only see one side of the Moon. Discover how the Moon led to life on Earth and stabilized the planet to enable human life to evolve. Discover how darkness and the Moon impact plants and wildlife, especially in urban areas. Learn how to live in tune with the Moon with gardening based on the lunar phases.  

Afterward, we’ll amble around Cleburne State Park and gaze for the South Taurids meteor showers, and maybe catch some early Leonid meteors.
