Lewiston Auburn Senior College

Zoom and in person at APL

Lindsay will join us via Zoom. Everyone who registers will receive a link to ZOOM in their email on the morning of the class, and may either Zoom in from home or come to the library to watch the presentation on the big screen.

Lindsay Ware will introduce us to the work of Science Dogs of New England, an organization that trains both dogs and their human handlers to use the superior scent-detection abilities of dogs for low-impact conservation and research work. The presentation will include a video of the dogs working on important environmental research. 

Lindsay has partnered with dogs for conservation purposes since 2011, when she began training dogs to find mortally wounded large game animals for hunters. Passionate about wildlife and conservation from a young age, Lindsay earned her B.S. in Wildlife Biology from Unity College, and her M.S. in Biology from the University of Western Ontario. She spent many years traveling the U.S. and Canada working as a wildlife research technician for several government and non-profit agencies.
