From CMNH: The Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s acclaimed Explorer Series lectures presents Dr. Stephen Kress, Vice-President for Bird Conservation, National Audubon Society and Director, Seabird Restoration Program & Hog Island Camp on April 28 at 5:30 pm.

“We are looking forward to having Dr. Stephen Kress share his extensive knowledge and valiant efforts to restore puffin and tern populations,” said Dr. Evalyn Gates, Executive Director and CEO of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. “We anticipate hearing his vast knowledge about advancing the science of seabird conservation while encouraging protection and appreciation of seabird habitats worldwide.”
