Nurturing Nature by Protecting our Animal Neighbors
Presented by: Dr. Rebecca Christoffel, Co-Director of Turtles for Tomorrow, Sole Proprietor of Christoffel Conservation
Our varied non-human neighbors include plants and animals residing above and below the ground. Some are reptiles, amphibians and mammals that we rarely observe, while others, like many birds, are flashy and frequently seen. Each is fascinating! We’ll explore how people are taking new action to nurture their non-human neighbors, with a special focus on turtles. Specifically, we’ll look at the protection of turtle nesting sites and the application of conservation practices on agricultural lands.
Luncheon Lectures are held in the Arboretum Visitor Center Auditorium. A buffet lunch catered by Blue Plate, is followed by an educational presentation. Each event costs $48. Series for the entire season, 9 events, costs $432.
