As part of our efforts to increase
awareness on the importance of protecting our environment,
I have produced a series of presentations that are given
throughout the year. Among this presentations is the "Life
of Birds" , full of bird facts and on-field observations.
This educational presentation is recommended for high schools
students as well as adults. I also do presentations on:
The Threat of Invasive Species, Basic Birding Techniques,and
Florida Wildlife. If your school or group it's interested
on any of these presentation please call me or e-mail me.
These are absolutely free presentations
