The program highlighted the plight of birds affected by global climate change and how we can help.

The program was very well received,

“We are all so appreciative of the program that Hannah and Kyle presented on Sunday. It was so informative, advanced bird conservation and gave participants information on being proactive! Hannah thank you so much for coming all the way up from New York City to present such a terrific program for our community!” Connie B.

“I had a lot of fun presenting for the Garden Club over the weekend along with hearing Hannah's great presentation.” Kyle
