New TWRA Bird Conservation Coordinator To Present August Nature At Noontime Program

  • Friday, July 31, 2015

David Hanni, recently-appointed Bird Conservation coordinator for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, will present the August Nature at Noontime program.

The program will be held on Thursday, Aug. 6, from noon-1 p.m. at the TWRA’s Region II Ray Bell Building located in the Ellington Agriculture Complex.

Mr. Hanni joined the TWRA from Colorado where he had served as the Director of the Science Division for the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory for the past 10 years.

He helped develop large scale bird monitoring programs through the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains regions. He will discuss potential future directions of bird conservation.

Hosted by the Information and Education Division, Nature at Noontime is held the first Thursday of each month with the exception of July. TWRA Nature at Noontime presentations are about natural resources related topics and last about 30-45 minutes, allowing time for discussion during the allotted lunch hour.
