Kirk Gentalen will lead an online presentation called Fishers are Core, hosted by Merryspring Nature Center on Tuesday, February 13, at 12 p.m. 

“Fishers are Core” will dive head first into what makes Fishers everyone’s favorite/least favorite Mustelid (weasel family). Personal stories, photos and videos will make this a Tuesday full of education and appreciation as attendees explore the concept of Fishers in Midcoast Maine. Tracking tips and advice will be shared, and reviews (often uncensored) of ‘helpful’ tools will be shared as well. 

Kirk Gentalen is the Fox Island Regional Steward for the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) and has 30 years of environmental education experience from all over the country. Nature is entertainment to Gentalen, and he has found that the ‘big fisher in his neighborhood’ is a source of boundless bundles of entertainment. Currently living on the St George peninsula with his family, Amy and Leif, Gentalen writes a nature column (‘Nature Bummin’) for MCHT (mcht.org/story-tag/nature-bummin) and edits the Vinalhaven Sightings Report (vinalhavensightings.blogspot.com).
