OGLESBY – The Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, and Putnam County Master Naturalists are excited to announce their upcoming Winter Webinar series. While the cold weather may keep us indoors, it doesn’t mean we can’t connect with nature. Join in this series and explore fascinating topics related to the natural world from the comfort of your home.
The series will kick off on Tuesday, Jan. 21, with a presentation on birds by Dr. Daniel Goldberg, Ornithologist and Assistant Professor of Biology at Grand Valley State University. University of Illinois History Professor Dr. Robert Morrissey will then give a presentation on his book People of the Ecotone, which explores indigenous history and how it shaped Illinois’ prairies. Finally, Dr. Leo Gaskins, University of Chicago David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellow, will present his research on how muskrats impact wetland landscape and diversity.
Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or simply curious about the environment, these sessions offer something for everyone. For more information or to register for the series visit go.illinois.edu/BLMPWinterWebinar
