Thursday, January 26 This is going to be a really wonderful and informative program! We will have two speakers who are playing key roles in habitat conservation and restoration in the Escondido Creek Watershed. This watershed covers approximately 54,000 acres stretching from the foothills to the coast. Jeff Anderson is Parks Supervisor for the Municipal Water District, a public agency, and is involved heavily in all aspects of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District and its interrelationship with the Escondido Creek Conservancy and the Elfin Forest Reserve. Jeff is a true conservationist and speaks through his actions. You will be amazed at what has been accomplished by Jeff and his group. Jeff Swenerton is a big time volunteer, and a retired elementary teacher and principal. He has devoted many hours to The Escondido Creek Conservancy where he has played many roles and worn many hats. Currently he is chairman of the Advisory Committee which develops educational programs with Jeff Anderson and his ranger staff. He will discuss what is going in and around the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve and their plans to increase educational activities. |
Thursday, February 23 After meeting a penguin at SeaWorld in Cleveland, Ohio when she was 14, Mary Talle fell in love. She decided that she would make a career of caring for these unique birds. Focusing her energies to make that dream a reality, Mary has worked for SeaWorld, San Diego for twentytwo years and has worked with penguins for more than fifteen of those years. She has worked with penguins at all four SeaWorld Adventure Parks as a guest keeper as well as several zoos across the country. She has even traveled to exotic locations to observe them in the wild. Come hear her share with us some of her many experiences with these unique birds from the Southern Hemisphere. |
