Featured Speaker: Paul Bannick
Paul Bannick is an award-winning author and photographer who makes images to inspire education and conservation. Paul’s photography has won awards in several prestigious contests, including those hosted by Audubon Magazine and the International Conservation Photography Awards. His work appears in many bird guides, including those from Audubon, Peterson, and The Smithsonian and has been featured in a variety of other books, publications and national exhibits.
Paul will be presenting on the subject of his newest book, Woodpecker: A Year in the Life of North American Woodpeckers. Woodpeckers are one of the most remarkable bird species found in the avian world. They have evolved in ways that make them ecologically critical to forest health, serving as keystone species in a variety of wooded habitats across North America. Their activities support a variety of other creatures, making them catalysts of diversity in the places they inhabit. They are, in many ways, the heartbeat of the forest. Copies of Woodpecker and other titles will be available for purchase at this event.
