  
The
Science and Nature Speaker Series is a community
outreach program that connects people with topics
about nature, animals, insects,
chemicals, and the natural environment.
Hosted by the St. Lawrence River Institute and the Cornwall
Public Library, the monthly Speaker Series is funded
entirely by sponsorships and community donations, and is
offered free of charge to the general public.
Coming soon check back with us
