Return of the Trumpeter Swan - Bringing a Species Back from the Brink of Extinction
This event is no longer on sale.
Margaret Smith, Executive Director of The Trumpeter Swan Society, will share the amazing story of the return of Trumpeter Swans to North America and the key players in their return. Each region has its own story such as the Midwest restoration efforts that included collecting eggs in the wilds of Alaska. During this program, you'll learn about the different priorities for swan management and restoration across the four North American flyways, the role of zoos and refuges in the swan's return, and the habitat and health issues swans face today. Her presentation will also include “Trumpeter Swan 101” and recognizing different swan behaviors.
