Here’s a link to the schedule, <a href="https://www.factohio.org/dist-speak" class="">https://www.factohio.org/dist-speak</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And what a distinguished list it is, too! The speaker in June, Scott Weidensaul, is a friend of mine, and MAN, is he a brilliant speaker. His book was a NYT bestseller, I’ve heard him on NPR, I’ve birded with him several times, and he is brilliant and sweet. If you haven’t read<i class=""> A World on the Wing: The global odyssey of migratory birds</i>,” or even if you have, I encourage you to tune in to this talk. He’s truly an engaging speaker. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And then, in November, the speaker is Doug Tallamy (an acquaintance of mine, who probably doesn’t remember me). He’s the guy behind Homegrown National Parks, who got famous with his book <i class="">Bringing Nature Home,</i> about the importance of native plants in an ecosystem.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am not familiar with the other speakers, but the topics look great! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Ginnie!!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—dawn</div></body></html>
