The Wildlife Center of Virginia speaks with international bestselling author
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Great Backyard Bird Count, which took place from Friday, February 18 through Monday, February 21. To celebrate, continue join the Center on its live events channel throughout the month for a collection of themed virtual programs.
Today, February 24 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, Wildlife Center Senior Vice President for Outreach and Education Amanda Nicholson and Wildlife Center President/co-founder Ed Clark will be speaking with a very special guest — international bestselling author Jennifer Ackerman. Viewers will also have the chance to “meet” Ambassador Animals from the Wildlife Center of Virginia during the live stream — and learn how these birds came to the Center and what their stories are, as well as the stories of the thousands of patients that the Center treats each year, and the steps that each of us can take to protect wildlife and the environment.
