Speaker: Dana Wilson, Volunteer Coordinator at Trinity River Audubon Center

Topic:  

“The Down and Dirty on Reclaiming a Landfill”: Master Naturalist Dana Wilson, Volunteer Coordinator at the new Trinity River Audubon Center, will talk about the history of the center and the challenges of turning a 120-acre illegal dump into an Audubon bird habitat with a state-of-the-art sustainable building. She will also describe the many ways that  Master Naturalists have already contributed to the Center and talk about volunteer opportunities there. 

Dana was in the NTMN class of 2001. For fun and relaxation, she has taken 60 hours of biology and horticulture classes at any college or university that will have her, and currently has graduate student status in Biology at UTA
