Our May 11th Meeting

Don Filipiak - 

Meeting this Saturday, May 11th at 6:30pm –
Wild Cargo Pets (310 S Military Trail West Palm Beach)

We are pleased to announce that the speaker for our meeting will be Don Filipiak, a researcher, field biologist and environmentalist that has done extensive field work in the forests of Costa Rica, Panama and throughout Central America as well as in our own backyard here in South Florida. He is an accomplished photographer and journalist and has captured some amazing images in his research. Check out his website http://www.RainforestDon.com/.

We are also going to try something a little different – after Don’s presentation we are going to host a sea turtle walk for anyone who is interested. We will be carpooling up to the beaches north off Juno, we will grab something to eat before heading out and hopefully we can find a nesting Loggerhead or Leatherback 

So, come join us for a full fun evening including a great presentation and some field herping on the beach at night
