Join us on Monday evening for a night of discussion, socializing, and sharing our love of Michigan nature. Doors open at 7, come meet fellow members, browse the library, and connect with others about birding. Program by Bill Flanagan begins at 7:30.
Bill Flanagan is the Conservation Manager at the John Ball Zoo. He manages the Zoo's field conservation programs which include a strong focus on Great Lakes species. Bill is a recovering herpetologist and has enjoyed the opportunity his current role has provided to learn about butterflies, native plants, and freshwater mussels. He will be talking about the Zoo's programs with rare turtles, the Grand River ecosystem, and the partnership to save the Poweshiek Skipperling from extinction.
This program is open to the general public who may attend as guests of the Grand Rapids Audubon Club. Remember to bring any bird related items you would like to donate to the raffle. Be sure to come early this month to browse the large selection of free books available
Event held in the Donnelly Center, located at 157 Woodward Lane SE between Fulton Street and Robinson Road. Parking is available in Lots "S" and "T" off Woodward Ln. The center entrance is on the north side of the building.
