Welcome Tammy Saunders, our
New Education Coordinator!
Tammy was selected from a number of strong candidates due to her past Natural History leadership experiences serving as a parks naturalist, leading bird walks, coordinating Audubon summer camp programs, and solid birding background. She grew up near Toledo, Ohio where she graduated from the University of Toledo in Interdisciplinary Studies and Environmental Education. She served as a Naturalist and Program Specialist for the Toledo Metropolitan Parks, developing school programs, leading interpretive walks, and serving a culturally diverse community. We are excited that she will take over our school programs, coordinate our Christmas Bird Count 4 Kids, lead beginner bird walks, and provide some support for our Citizen Science Projects. We hope you get to meet Tammy in the near future at some of our NSAS activities.
Searching for Volunteers
We are looking for volunteers to help lead beginning bird walks for families, once a month in local parks. Please consider helping out with this fun activity. We are also looking for Supporters to assist us with Education Programs in our Schools and Communities. If you are interested in serving in this area in any capacity, please contact Mark Stephenson at NapaBirder@gmail.com for more details.
