Melanie graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1990. She currently lives in Jackson, New Hampshire and is the owner of Jackson Art Studio & Gallery. Melanie is an award-winning artist who paints in a loose, impressionistic style with a brush or a palette knife. As a plein air painter, Levitt paints on location braving the elements to capture the mood of the scene. Her favorite subjects are the mountains, rivers and small farms of New Hampshire and the rugged coasts of Maine.
• Community Event: PREDATOR PREDICAMENT
  7pm • Tin Mountain Nature Learning Center, Albany
  • New Hampshire’s predators include some of the most well-known, iconic mammal species in eastern North America. They range in size from tiny bats to massive moose and everything in between. At least half of our +/- 35 species of mammals in NH can be assigned to this group, and many have incredibly specific eating habits that play a tremendous role in balancing ecosystem dynamics. This program will cover the ecology of most of the well-known predators that range through our woods, fields, and back yards, and will discuss some of the threats to their existence. Some of the more common, wide-ranging species will be looked for during our field session on Saturday the 10th of February by virtue of their tracks, scat, and other sign.
