Our guest speaker for the Thursday, February 9th meeting will be Brooke Widmar, the Education Outreach Coordinator for the James River Basin Partnership. Brooke will be presenting her program “Explore the Shore” which explores the flora and fauna to be found along the James River. This should be especially interesting since our previous club float was on the lower James River from Kerr to Galena.
The meeting is at 6:00pm, Thursday, Feb 9th at the Springfield Nature Center.
About Brooke:

Her conservation career has included working for Stream Teams United, The Nature Conservancy of Missouri, and most recently the Missouri Prairie Foundation. Brooke is a graduate of Missouri State University (Go Bears!) earning a B.S. in Wildlife Conservation and Management with a certificate in Environmental Education.
