“India: Between China, the West, and the Global South” will be the subject of the Great Decisions program at the Mariposa Museum on Thursday, May 1. The program will begin at 7 p.m. The session, part of a series on world affairs from the nonpartisan Foreign Policy Association , will include a video. Robert Beck, a retired foreign policy official, and Peter Henriques, a retired international business executive who lives in Peterborough, will moderate the audience discussion. Issues to be considered include how India’s emerging role may influence the dynamics between the United States and China.

Copies are available at the Mariposa and at the Peterborough Town Library. The guide can be ordered online from the Foreign Policy Association at fpa.org/great_decisions or by phone, at 800-477-5836.

The Trust puts much effort into grazing, mowing, coppicing and other activities – why? How do we decide what to do? What are the underlying principles? The day will concentrate on the underlying ecological processes in managing habitat, and the basic features of the major habitat types – heathland, grassland, wetland and woodland. The last part of the day will explain the role of monitoring in conservation, and which plants and animals to record in which habitats.
