OCTOBER MONTHLY PROGRAM
The Hog Island Audubon Camp:
A National Audubon Jewel off the Coast of Maine!
Holly Merker
7:00 PM, Friday, October 20, 2023
Join Wyncote Audubon at our October Monthly Program scheduled for 7:00 PM on Friday, October 20, 2023 at the Upper Dublin Public Library, 520 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington, PA 19034. The presentation will feature Holly Merker, a long time instructional leader at the Hog Island Camp. Holly will share a profile of the programs and people at Hog Island and how it continues to flourish as it continues its eighty-year legacy. Residential sessions at Hog Island have been led by some of the most respected naturalists and environmental educators in the nation as it continues to inspire scores of scientists, school and university educators, and conservation leaders. Wyncote Audubon has provided “Griscom Scholarships” to the camp for many decades. Recent Wyncote Audubon Griscom Scholars, Olivia Cochran and Jennifer Tanay, will follow Holly’s presentation to share the value of their experiences at Hog Island to their work. We will also provide information of how educators and youth can apply for scholarships to attend the 2024 sessions.
Holly Merker is a well known to Wyncote Audubon as a presenter at past meetings. She has presented past programs on “How to Use eBird” and just last year on her book Ornitherapy. She most recently joined Scott Weidensaul to help lead the fall migration session for the Hog Island Audubon Camp.
