JBNHS NOV MEETING GUEST SPEAKER: BIRD CITY AUTHOR RYAN GOLDBERG
November 19 @ 6:00 pm
Bird City: Adventures in New York’s Urban Wilds author Ryan Goldberg will present before our business meeting. Informative and uplifting, Bird City will inspire folks to slow down and look around them as our name sake implored more than a century ago. Bird City also shares an important fact that nature is around us all (even in the five boroughs) and should be visited daily not just on the weekend. Co-sponsoring friends at Blue Heron Books will have copies available for purchase beforehand so please remember to support local business. The public is welcome but please register for talk with Mark DeDea (forsythnature@aol.com ) as seating is limited. Presentation and Q&A will run about an hour with an important JBNHS Trustee’s Meeting to follow as we chart the course for next year’s activities and goals.
