EV History Center to host 'On The Wing With Dean Hester'
Jun. 30, 2023 1:53 pm
The EV History Center will host 2012 English Valleys graduate Dean Hester on Sunday, July 23, at 2 p.m.
Hester, a North English native, is a longtime nature lover. During his college years at the University of Iowa, he became interested in wildlife photography and bird-watching.
“Both of these hobbies led me to travel to new and exciting places to see more birds and animals," Hester said. "These hobbies quickly turned into serious obsessions, and now I try to see new species everywhere I go, both close to home and to new places."
His program will include a brief tour of some of the most biodiverse and interesting places he has been to in the USA and beyond, especially for wildlife and bird-watching.
“I will also talk about how seeing all these animals can be used for citizen science projects and how to become a better naturalist and photographer," Hester noted. “There will be lots of pictures!”
The EV History Center is located at 108 N. Main Street in North English, and all are invited to attend this event at no charge. Donations are accepted.
