After 95 years as a volunteer-based organization, the BAS Board of Directors decided that a full-time professional would help us take Bedford Audubon into the science-based environmental role that we believe our members and our era demand. We are delighted to entrust that leadership position to Jim Nordgren.

Bedford Audubon is pleased to welcome back Peter Warny for a lecture on his passion and field of expertisereptiles. His presentation will focus on conservation of snakes, turtles and alligators, as well as ongoing ecology and conservation projects and habitat management.

Peter Warny, “The Reptile Man,” has worked for National Audubon and the Nature Conservancy on conservation projects both locally and in National Audubon Sanctuaries around the country. He is currently a research associate in the herpetology lab at Western Connecticut State University and an associate researcher for the New York State Museum in Albany. Peter has been studying the behavior and habits of snakes, turtles, frogs and salamanders since childhood.

The program is free and open to the public.
