Brevard Speaker Series: Misunderstood Wildlife and more!
August 12 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Date: August 12, 2024
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Location: Transylvania County Public Library, Rogow Room
Speaker: Steve O’Neil, Executive Director of Earthshine Nature Programs
Join us for an up-close and personal introduction to some of the most important and yet most misunderstood wild creatures – the reptiles that live in our backyards – and maybe even in our basements and attics! This program will focus on many of the more misunderstood animals we share our world with. These animals are integral parts of a healthy ecosystem, healthy earth, and healthy humans, yet they have been misunderstood and mistreated by many for centuries. It’s time to end the misunderstandings and build some respect for our wild friends.
Steve is from Hendersonville, North Carolina and has worked as an interpretive naturalist for many years and with many organizations. He is the Executive Director of Earthshine Nature Programs. He received is Associate of Applied Science in Wildlife & Fisheries Management from Haywood Community College and his Bachelor of Science in Recreation Mgt./Outdoor Experiential Education from Appalachian State University, and he loves to share his passion for forests, mountains, caves, swamps, and dunes – in search of all things and all places wild and wonderful – with youngsters and adults.
The Brevard Speaker Series programs are made possible thanks to our partnership with the NC Cooperative Extension, Transylvania County Center.
