Join us Thursday February 19 at Cypress and Grove Brewing for our evening program with Jack Davis from 7-8 p.m. Arrive at 6:45 to get a beverage and find a table so we can start on time.
Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Jack Davis will share insights from his book The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America’s Bird. He will recount the era when Americans pushed the Bald Eagle—the living species behind one of the country's most distinguished symbols—to the brink of extinction, which was followed by collective efforts that ultimately brought the species back. Davis's talk will highlight the pivotal role Bald Eagles in North-Central Florida played in regionwide restoration, while telling the story of a unique monument, supported by the Alachua Audubon Society, that honors those birds today.
