Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will learn how to identify common species of birds, gain a greater understanding of nature and how we relate to it and learn about the author's experiences as a wildlife photographer and nationally known author.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were asked what books/information the library had available related to establishing and growing native habitat following the program. It created an awareness of the library as a source of information and gave us a chance to promote the use of the PCLS online catalog has a resource. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses were collected.
